Below is our classification of the images we observed. We divided them into two overarching categories: 1) organisms visible to the naked eye and 2) organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. Next, we used a  series of classifications to further divide the categories into the aspects below.

1. Visible to the Naked Eye

     A. Root Systems

          a. Trunks

          b. Non-Trunks

     B. Non-Root Systems

          a. Vertebrates

               Land Vertebrates

                   -Flying

                   -Non-Flying

             *Carnivore

             *Herbivore

             *Omnivore

               Water Vertebrates

                   -Those that have Eggs

                   -Those that have Live-Birth

           b. Non-Vertebrates

              Land Non-Vertebrates

                   -Those with Legs

                   -Those without Legs

                            *Those that are Round

                            *Those that are Linear

              Water Non-Vertebrates

                   -Those with Shells

                   -Those without Shells
