True.

Fossil organisms are placed in the same modern classification system (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species) based on their morphology and inferred evolutionary relationships. Paleontologists use the same principles (including cladistics) to assign extinct taxa, though placement can be uncertain when only fragmentary remains are available.
