What about water gives it all the special properties?

idk if this is what you're asking for, but water molecules are polar, so they form hydrogen bonds. This gives water properties such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

linnaeus is the father of taxonomy, which is the system of classifying and naming organisms. one of his contributions was the development of a hierarchical system of classification of nature. today, this system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
