Different forms of organisms have evolved during the course of evolution. Classification deals with grouping of these organisms into groups and subgroups based on their similarities and differences. The more characteristics any two species have in common more closely they are related. In other words, they will have a more recent ancestor.
Thus, classification helps tracing the evolutionary relationships between the two organisms. Hence classification and evolution are interlinked.
