Moraceae in ordineUrticalium (nunc defuncto) olim ponebantur, sed secundum recentiores investigationes geneticas in Rosalibus nunc ponuntur, in clado appellato rosidis urticaleanis, qui etiam Cannabaceas, Celtidaceas, Ulmaceas, et Urticaceas comprehendit. Plantae generis Cecropiae, quae in Moraceis, Urticaceis, vel sua familia, Cecropicaceis, varie ponebantur, ad Urticaceis nunc pertinent.[2]
Dioecia Moracearum se ex monoeciaevolvisse putatur: dioecia erat status priscus inter Moraceas, et monoecia ex eo quater evolvi videtur.[3]
