Definition: Tool for the identification of organisms, comprising a series of steps, each of which represents a question about one or more characters of the organism. Each step offers multiple alternatives, choosing one of them will lead us to the next step until reaching, finally, the name of the organism. Most of the keys only offer two alternatives, the so called dichotomous keys. A taxon can include an identification key for the subordinate taxa.
Comment: e.g. The register of a genre will include the keys of the species shown in this genre, and the register of a species will include the keys of infraspecific ranks (in the case of plants: subspecies, variety, forms...)

Comment: e.g. "The fungus fruit body is the spore-producing stage of the life cycle. The spores produced by fruit bodies are usually the result of sexual reproduction. The fruit body is supported by and develops from an extensive network of thread-like filaments called hyphae. Hyphae are often collectively termed the mycelium; the food-absorbing part of the fungus. When conditions are favorable, and the mycelium is at the proper stage of development, fruit bodies are produced by the fungus. The spores produced by a fruit body are released initiate the life cycle anew."

Comment: It is able to leap up to 50 times its size. They use a tether of silk that they produce from their bodies to do so. They are able to use the hydraulic movement of their limbs in spite of not having muscles in their body to do so. They do have to stop now and then to be able to readjust their blood pressure. They are very curious by nature too. This is why they will leap when a human places their hand out. However, they may jump backwards too so that they can get enough distance from that object. They stay focused for long periods of time on what they approach too.
