The main difference between taxonomy and systematics is that:

1.  Taxonomy is involved in the naming and classification of organisms while
systematics is involved in determining evolutionary relationships between organisms
2.  Systematics is involved in the naming and classification of organisms while
taxonomy is involved in determining evolutionary relationships between organisms
3.  Taxonomy is not a true science and has largely been replaced with systematics
4.  Systematics can be considered as a part of taxonomy

A hierarchy is an arrangement of items that are represented as being "above", "below", or "at the same level as" one another. The correct ascending order of taxonomic hierarchy is:
1. Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Division → Kingdom
2. Species → Genus → Family → Class → Order → Division → Kingdom
3. Species → Genus → Order → Family → Class → Division → Kingdom
4. Genus → Species → Family → Order → Class → Kingdom → Division
