Much later, when Linnaeus (1707–1778) created the basis of the modern system of scientific classification, these two groups became the kingdoms Vegetabilia (later Metaphyta or Plantae) and Animalia (also called Metazoa).
Moito máis tarde, cando Linné (1707–1778) creou as bases do moderno sistema de clasificación científica, estes dous grupos convertéronse nos reinos Vegetabilia (despois Metaphyta ou Plantae) e Animalia (tamén chamado Metazoa).
