How is a dichotomous key different from a regular field guide?

A field guide is a piece of informational text that uses pictures to make your find easier. it allows you to find the picture of the organism and quickly identify the traits.

To use a dichotomous key you need to have some background knowledge of the organism to find out what you need.

Example: When you are walking in a field and you see a flower, it would be easier to use a field guide and look up the picture of the flower to see what family it belongs to.
