Cladistics is a philosophy of classification that arranges organisms only by their order of branching in an evolutionary tree and not by their morphological similarity, in the words of Luria et al. (1981). A major contributor to this school of thought was the German entomologist Willi Hennig, who referred to it as phylogenetic systematics (Hennig, 1966). The word cladistics is derived from the ancient Greek κλάδος, klados, or “branch.”
As the end result of a cladistic analysis, tree-like relationship-diagrams called “cladograms” are drawn up to show hypothesized relationships. [1] A cladistic analysis can be based on as much or as little information as the researcher selects. Modern systematic research is likely to be based on a wide variety of information, including DNA-sequences (so-called “molecular data”), biochemical data and morphological data.
I hope it helps!

they use Greek to describe what they look like, i think,.. like triceratops means 3= tri, cera=horns, and tops= head? or tyrannosaurus Rex means tyrant= terrible king and Rex = ruler? but also they can be named after the place were they are found like Utah raptor= the place Utah and raptor=bird of prey?
