Flexi Says:
Artificial classification in biology is a method of classifying organisms based on one or a few observable characteristics, rather than on the basis of evolutionary relationships or genetic similarities. This type of classification is often based on easily observable traits such as color, size, number of limbs, etc.
For example, organisms might be grouped together because they all have wings, regardless of whether they are birds, insects, or bats. While this method can be useful for certain purposes, it does not accurately reflect the true relationships between different species. It is considered less accurate than natural classification, which takes into account a wider range of characteristics and is based on evolutionary relationships.
