I do not understand what do you mean by taxonomy in it? Is it related to 4IR or the roles of management ?
In order to understand what something means or implies, you have to know exactly what it is. Taxonomies of all kinds are identifications and classifications. In my paleontological work taxonomy and systematics are identification and classification. Once I know exactly what genus or species I'm looking at, I can use it taphonomic, paleoecologic, biostratigraphic, morphologic, and phylogenetic studies.
The branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics.
In biology I would treat systematics separate from taxonomy, where systematics deals with finding out the relationship between organisms, and taxonomy deals with the nomenclatoral consequences, like naming branches and lineages identified by the systematist. Also reconciling the phylogeny with the Linnean hierarchical system.
Taxonomy is the theory and practice of classifying organisms. Taxonomy covers the range of different areas from the description and naming taxa to the arrangement of organisms into a classificatory system for particular groups of organisms. Mainly it is considered as a subsection of systematics that deals with classification, nomenclature and other aspects of naming and identification.
Hello Hina; Documenting the ant species diversity in some mountain ranges in Southern California is the focus of my research - which, and how many, species occur in a region. It is essential that there is common agreement about characterizing each "kind" of ant. Systematic name-giving - taxonomy - is what allows us to agree on what constitutes a "kind of ant".

The identity of any organism is started with its correct name. Taxonomy is the studies where we can get the correct and authenticated name and identity of any organism. Collection, Identification, classification, documentation, naming plants are the basic things of Taxonomy. Apart from this, it included a study of morphology in relation to anatomy, embryology, palynology, cytology, ecology. Now molecular phylogeny is also supporting taxonomy.
Dear Hina Amin .
Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world. See the link: https://www.cbd.int/gti/taxonomy.shtml#:~:text=Taxonomy%20is%20the%20science%20of,and%20microorganisms%20of%20the%20world.
