What do we learn from identification of individuals and populations?

Based on the sources and our conversation:

Identification is a fundamental process that is **basic to taxonomy**. It involves correctly describing an organism so that a name can be attached to it, making nomenclature possible.

From the identification of individuals and populations (referred to in the source as “an individual or group of organisms” or “individuals of the same kind of organisms”), we learn several key things:

1. We learn the **characters** of the individual or group of organisms being identified.
2. This knowledge allows us to **identify similarities and dissimilarities** among individuals of the same kind (within a population) as well as among individuals of other kinds of organisms (between populations). This ability to recognise similarities and distinct differences is the basis for classification.
3. Identification, along with characterisation, classification, and nomenclature, forms the basis of taxonomy. These processes are evolved by biologists to **facilitate the study of kinds and diversity of organisms**.
4. Taxonomic studies, which rely on accurate identification, are **useful in agriculture, forestry, industry and in general for knowing our bio-resources and their diversity**.
