Hi @Gil_Sharon! You can export your taxonomy (or any Artifact for that matter) by running `qiime tools export`:

```bash
# An example, using some test data I have hanging out on my laptop!
$ qiime tools export ~/moving-pictures/taxonomy.qza --output-dir ~/Desktop/taxa-data
$ cat ~/Desktop/taxa-data/taxonomy.tsv

Depending on where you want to use this TSV table, you might need to remove the header row (e.g. QIIME 1, phyloseq)

Also, if you are interested in annotating a BIOM table with these data, you could export the `FeatureTable`, in addition to the data exported above, and use the [`biom add-metadata`](http://biom-format.org/documentation/adding_metadata.html) command to annotate the BIOM table.

Good luck, keep us posted! 🦖
