Solution

The statement "Classification of living things based on their genomic homogeneity is called hierarchical classification" is FALSE.

Explanation:

  • Hierarchical classification is a system of organizing living organisms based on a series of ranked levels, primarily focusing on shared physical characteristics, evolutionary relationships, and categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
  • The concept of classifying organisms based on genomic homogeneity more accurately relates to molecular phylogenetics or genetic classification rather than strictly adhering to hierarchical classification.

Hence, the classification based on genomic data does not solely define hierarchical structures.
