4. facilitate identification of unknown organisms

Correct answer: facilitate identification of unknown organisms

Solution

Classification organizes living things into groups based on shared characteristics, making it easier to recognize and identify organisms. Its practical value is not to explain origin or evolution, but to simplify identification of unknown specimens.
