Dichotomous key
Scientists classify organisms by the dichotomous key. They classify by looking at if it moves or not, then they look at characteristics, then they can see what they are.

Scientists use dichotomous keys as a tool to help identify unknown organisms based on their characteristics. The key presents a series of paired statements about the organism's features, with the scientist choosing the statement that best matches the organism they are trying to identify. By following the key and making choices based on the characteristics observed, scientists can narrow down the potential identity of the organism.

Taxonomic keys are usually a series of choices or questions that help users identify unknown organisms based on their characteristics or features. By answering these questions and following the given criteria, users can narrow down the options and arrive at the correct classification of the organism. These keys are designed to be systematic and dichotomous, leading users through a step-by-step process towards identification.
A dichotomous key is used to categorize plants and animals. They are used when classifying a newly-discovered species. Categorizing new species is sometimes called 'keying out' the species.
Classification is typically done based on shared characteristics or criteria. This can include properties such as size, shape, color, function, or behavior. Various systems and methodologies, such as taxonomies, algorithms, or categorization frameworks, can be employed to classify things.
