To nitpick: 'phylogenetics' isn't exclusive to using molecular data; the field of phylogenetics was well established long before the advent of sequencing. In modern usage, the term is nearly always referring to molecular phylogenies, but in this context it's a little confusing. Also, taxonomy is a distinct discipline from phylogenetics, more devoted to classification and naming. The ultimate goal of taxonomists is to assist in communicating about organisms via well-informed classification schemes. To wit, most naming is focused on morphology (e.g. monocots vs. eudicots), but based on molecular phylogenies (hence eudicots (true dicots) vs. the polyphyletic dicots).
