The following are steps involved in classifying an organism
The organism has to be described for all its morphological and other characteristics
Based on its characteristics; it is identified for its similarities or differences to any known group or taxon
It is then placed in a known taxon based on its similar characters
If it is different from the ones already described anywhere in the world, it is placed in a new group and then named.
If the organism has not been described before, it is given a new name; or its correct name is determined.
