1. There are two choices for height (s or $$t$$).
2. There are two choices for seed shape (r or $$w$$).
3. There are two choices for flower color (wh or $$p$$).

Using the Fundamental Counting Principle, multiply the number of choices for each trait:
$$
2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8
$$

Thus, there are $$8$$ classifications.
There are 8 different classifications of pea plants possible.
