As nouns the difference between taxonomy and cathode
is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while cathode is (electricity) an electrode, of a cell or other electrically polarized device, through which a current of electricity flows inwards (and thus, electrons flow outwards) it usually, but not always, has a negative voltage.
