Answer:

The science of naming and grouping organisms is called systematics and the term taxa describes any of the groups of organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genealogy is the study of families, family history, and the tracing of their lineages. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of its members.

Numismatics is the study of the physical embodiment of various payment media (i.e. currencies). The study of numismatics as it applies to coins is often in the research of the production and use of the coins to determine their rarity.

Systematics, or Taxonomy, is the study of the kinds of organisms of the past and living today, and of the relationships among these organisms. Systematists collect and study the variety of plants and animals and group them according to patterns of variation.

Speciation is an evolutionary process by which a new species comes into being. A species is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another to produce fertile offspring and is reproductively isolated from other organisms.

  • taxon - taxa: a taxonomic group of any rank, such as a species, family, or class.
