Order (biology) Summary

 


Order

The term order is a taxonomical category used to classify organisms within one or more closely related families. Order names of plant families generally use the suffix -ales (ex.

Rosales) and order names of animal families end with an -a (ex. Carnivora). Generally, the order of an organism is not considered during scientific discussion, but rather the more specific terms of family, genus, and species are used.
