Detailed Solution
Species is the lowest category in basic taxonomic hierarchy and has the maximum common characteristics with other species under the same genus. The genus is an aggregate or a group of closely related species. Family is the group of closely related genera, and has less common characteristics than species or genus rank. Order is a higher taxon and is the assemblage of families having similar characteristics. Class is a group of related orders. The classes with similar features are grouped into phylum in animals and division in plants. The phyla are grouped into still broader categories, called kingdom.
