Question

A taxonomist would ask whether a species being classified contains a defining feature of a particular taxonomic class.

   Linnaeus' work followed other Naturalists but his work was deemed as unifying and so he receives the credit in the Linnaen System of classification.    The Linneaun system is a hierarchical system whereby organisms are arranged into groups with ever increasing similarities and levels of inclusion.    Organisms that possess essential features are included and those that might gain the feature are also included.    Taxonomists groupings represent units of common evolutionary descent. This is termed systematization.   

A taxonomist would ask whether a species being classified contains a defining feature of a particular taxonomic class.

   A taxonomist would ask whether a newly discovered animal, thought to be a tetrapod even though it is legless, confirms or rejects the hypothesis that it descends from a common ancestor that had four limbs.
