In drupal 7 any node has fields, and taxonomy has fields.
Why now used taxonomy?
Taxonomy are used ONLY for link between nodes and creating a hierarchy...
hierarchy - book (or any variant book)
link between nodes - reference
Why now used taxonomy in the Drupal 8?
I creating an entity (e.g. node) with the type of dictionary and use it as a dictionary...

taxonomy can have fields for example, to associate an image icon with taxonomy terms as well as other ideas that may come with the use of some imagination.
Taxonomy is about
Taxonomy is about categorizing content.

http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/taxonomy may aid with providing a better understanding of taxonomy and what you can do with it in drupal.
Although Drupal 8.x isn't released as stable and can be changed radically between now and the time it is released. Drupal 7.x is what should be used to build on at this time.
huh
2VM huh, The node (which type of taxonomy) can have fields for example, to associate an image icon with node...
2 nevets: I know it. The node (which type of taxonomy) can categorizing other node (content).
Any node can contain only one field named: Title... no problem
2VM Thank you for the link. I understand how it works, and why need taxonomy on Drupal 7, D6 and D5.
I opened the thread to discuss about D8 (or D9).

sure but why associate an image icon with each node when it can be pulled from a taxonomy term? and what if more than one term is used? I'm really not sure what you're trying to get at. a single vocabulary can also be used on more than one content type, thus those icons from taxonomy on more than one node type.
Why would one not want to organize content with taxonomy in D8?
