Aristotle initially divided living organisms only into two groups which are plants and animals. The system was not proven to be good because there were too many species of plants and animals. However, the system was used for 2000 until the time of Linnaeus.

Animal and Plant
Aristotle divided living things into plants and animals and then subdivided animals into land, water and air. He subdivided plants into small, medium, and large. This caused problem because some animals traveled by walking, swimming and flying.
The environment can be divided into two main categories: the biotic environment, which includes all living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, and the abiotic environment, which encompasses non-living elements like air, water, soil, and minerals. These categories interact and influence each other, forming the basis of ecosystems and ecological systems. Understanding both aspects is crucial for studying environmental science and addressing ecological issues.
Aristotle classified living things in very broad categories which are land animals, marine animals and air animals. His method proved inadequate since it did not entail specific classifications.
Aristotle was often called the father of life sciences.

Aristotle contributed to the science of taxonomy by establishing a systematic approach to classifying living organisms based on their observable characteristics. He categorized animals into groups such as "blooded" and "bloodless" and further divided them into more specific categories based on traits like habitat and behavior. His work laid the groundwork for later taxonomists, influencing classification systems by emphasizing the importance of empirical observation and logical categorization. While his methods were rudimentary by modern standards, Aristotle's efforts marked a significant step toward the development of biological classification.
Aristotle develops one of the first methods of classification based on observation of the characteristics of animals and plants. Plants were divided into shrubs, herbs, and trees. Animals were divided into aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial. The method does not apply for organisms like amphibians. Linnaeus develops the binomial system we use today made up of two words that identify the organism: genus and species.
