The scientific names for Pikmin ([[Bulbmin#Naming|aside from Bulbmin]]) went unspecified until the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]] from {{p4}}, where they were all classified under the genus ''pikminidae'', a very straight-forward reference to the family itself. | The scientific names for Pikmin ([[Bulbmin#Naming|aside from Bulbmin]]) went unspecified until the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]] from {{p4}}, where they were all classified under the genus ''pikminidae'', a very straight-forward reference to the family itself. Pikmin 4's Piklopedia also reveals that Pikmin belong to the class Ambuloradicis, which in Latin roughly translates to "walking root". | ||
