Biomimicry: An Investigative

AskNature uses a classification system—the Biomimicry Taxonomy—to categorize the different ways in which organisms and natural systems address challenges. How these organisms and systems do so represents potential solutions to similar challenges that we face as humans. The Biomimicry Taxonomy organizes biology by function. In AskNature, the ways that organisms and systems have adapted in response to challenges are called strategies. Put another way, a strategy is how an organism does something and a function is why it does it.
