Which level of the hierarchic organizational system comes after the Kingdom level?

In biological classification, the hierarchy begins with broad categories and becomes more specific down to individual species. The classification system typically follows the sequence: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

After the Kingdom level, the next category in this hierarchy is indeed the Phylum level. Each Kingdom is divided into multiple Phyla (plural for phylum), which group together organisms that share a significant number of characteristics. This arrangement helps biologists to organize and categorize the vast diversity of life on Earth in a structured way, making it easier to study and understand the relationships between different organisms.

For example, in the Kingdom Animalia, there are several Phyla including Chordata (which includes vertebrates) and Arthropoda (which includes insects, arachnids, and crustaceans). This systematic approach facilitates the classification and identification of organisms, highlighting both their similarities and differences in an orderly manner.
