Solution
A living object with an ordered structure that can respond to stimuli, reproduce, develop, adapt, and maintain homeostasis is referred to as an organism.
All living organisms are identified and categorized based on their bodily structure and function.
Some traits result in more extensive alterations in body design and once a given body design is established, it shapes the impact of all subsequent design adjustments.
As a result, features that emerged earlier are more likely to be fundamental than those that emerged later.
Therefore, the taxonomy of living forms will be closely linked to their evolution.
