Well, you can look at is as relationships corresponding with evolutionary information. That is, do they breed? if not, why not? if so, how related are they? etc. Its a way of relative classification based on evolutionary information. That said, now days this is done almost exclusively by DNA/RNA so they are mostly looking at how many base pairs, or what percentage difference do two (or more) similar organisms have in common/different?
