In animal classification, 'Phylum' is used; what equivalent term is used for plants?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Division

Correct answer: B, Division. Taxonomy arranges organisms in ranks such as kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus and species. In zoological classification, the rank between kingdom and class is called Phylum. In botanical classification, the corresponding rank is usually called Division. Therefore, Division and Phylum refer to equivalent levels, although the preferred word differs between plants and animals. A, Class is a rank below phylum or division. C, Order is below class. D, Family is below order. A useful memory cue is: animals have a Phylum, while plants have a Division; both occupy the same position in the hierarchy.
