As nouns the difference between taxonomy and centroid
is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while centroid is (mathematics|physics) the point at the centre of any shape, sometimes called centre of area or centre of volume for a triangle, the centroid is the point at which the medians intersect the co-ordinates of the centroid are the average (arithmetic mean) of the co-ordinates of all the points of the shape for a shape of uniform density, the centroid coincides with the centre of mass which is also the centre of gravity in a uniform gravitational field.

centroid
English
Noun
(
wikipedia centroid)
(
en noun)
(mathematics, physics) The point at the centre of any shape, sometimes called centre of area or centre of volume. For a triangle, the centroid is the point at which the medians intersect. The co-ordinates of the centroid are the average (arithmetic mean) of the co-ordinates of all the points of the shape. For a shape of uniform density, the centroid coincides with the centre of mass which is also the centre of gravity in a uniform gravitational field.
