Which taxonomic category is used for animals immediately below Kingdom in the taxonomic hierarchy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Phylum

The correct answer is B, Phylum. Taxonomic ranks are arranged from broader groups to more specific groups. In animals, the sequence begins Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. Therefore, the rank immediately below Kingdom is Phylum. Humans are placed in Kingdom Animalia and Phylum Chordata; Chordata is therefore the phylum of humans. Option A, Division, is generally used as the equivalent rank in plant classification, not ordinarily for animals. Option C, Class, comes below Phylum, so it is one step too specific. Option D, Order, comes below Class and is even farther down the hierarchy. Memory cue: for animals remember Kingdom → Phylum; for plants remember Kingdom → Division.
