Which is not a way that ancient people classified plants and animals?

By using binomial nomenclature
By taste
By use
As beneficial or poisonous

Since they're ancient, I'm guessing they didn't classify by using binomial nomenclature.

The correct answer is - By using binomial nomenclature.

The ancient people were using their senses and their experiences in the defining of the plant and animal species. This was due to lack of technology, so they used what they had at disposal. Thus the binomial nomenclature is out of question for usage for the ancient people since they were nowhere near the technological level needed to perform such a thing and use it in their daily lives.
