Question

Answer 1

A taxonomic unit, whether named or not: i.e. a population, or group of populations of organisms which are usually inferred to be phylogenetically related and which have characters in common which differentiate (q.v.) the unit (e.g. a geographic population, a genus, a family, an order) from other such units. A taxon encompasses all included taxa of lower rank (q.v.) and individual organisms

✔️ Each unit or category of classification is termed as a taxon. It represents a rank.

✔️ For example, the basic level of classification is species, followed by genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, in ascending order.

✔️ The highest level of classification is known as kingdom.

✔️ So each of these categories can be called as a taxon.
