Also known as phyla, division

In biology, a phylum (; : phyla) is a level of classification, or taxonomic rank, that is below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany the term division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent. Depending on definitions, the animal kingdom Animalia contains about 32 phyla, the plant kingdom Plantae contains about 14 phyla, and the fungus kingdom Fungi contains about eight phyla. Current research in phylogenetics is uncovering the relationships among phyla within larger clades like Ec

AI overview

A phylum is a major grouping level in biology's classification system that sits between the broad category of kingdom and the more specific category of class. Understanding phyla matters because it helps scientists organize the tremendous diversity of life—for example, the animal kingdom alone contains around 32 different phyla—making it easier to study relationships and understand how different organisms are related to each other.
