Hello aspirant

In biology, taxonomy is the science of naming, defining and classifying groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics.

There are eight distinct taxonomic categories. These are: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

For example, all of the animals in the Kingdom Animalia are split into multiple phyla (plural of phylum). All of the animals in the phylum Chordata are split into multiple classes such as mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.

Hope this helps
