The classification system in Biology is a system which helps scientists organize or name different things and types of objects and organisms. Taxonomy is the classification system for grouping and naming living things under their main domain category (see related questions about the Domain category of classification).
The classification system of taxonomy must be done in a certain order following the Domain:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
An example using the domesticated dog classification is:
Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalia
Order Carnivora
Family Canidae
Genus Canis
Species/subspecies C. lupus familiaris
A mnemonic device (acronym) to help you learn and memorize this order is:
King
Philip
Came

Grape
Soda
OR

The highest taxonomic category is domain, while the lowest taxonomic category is species.
taxonomic category between kingdom and class is _____
The taxonomic category below order is family.
The highest rank in taxonomic classification is the domain. This category is used to group organisms based on shared characteristics at the broadest level before being further divided into more specific categories like kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
The largest taxonomic category in Linnaeus's system of classification is the kingdom.
The taxonomic category of Ascaris is a genus within the phylum Nematoda, which are commonly referred to as roundworms.
