Taxonomy is a field of biology concerned with the categorization and grouping of organisms based on similarities and differences. During this categorization, a hierarchy is constructed, narrowing the number of species with each level.

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family genus, and species are the distinct levels of taxonomic categorization.

Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya are the three domains. Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are the five kingdoms. These kingdoms are further subdivided into phylum, which is further subdivided into classes, which are further subdivided into order, family, genus, and species, which are the most detailed level of taxonomic categorization.
