Hi Swasti,
Thank you for asking

Taxonomic key is a method which is used to identify the object and organism in order to place them in related taxonomic level (e.g. family, genus and species).

Let say, you encounter an organism. Now, you will try to observe the features of that organism and finally come to the conclusion that the organism resembles the features of any genus or species.

Hope the answer of the question.
