Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between phylum and division is that phylum is a classification level of the animal kingdom whereas division is the alternative classification level to the phylum in the kingdom Plantae and Fungi.

Answer 2

In the animal kingdom, the taxon division is replaced by phylum.

• The sequence of taxa in the animal kingdom is as follows:

Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom

• Phylum includes one or more related classes of animals. In plants, instead of phylum, the term ‘division’ is used.

• Class is a taxonomic group consisting of one or more related orders.  

• Order is a taxonomic group containing one or more families.  

• Family is a taxonomic group containing one or more related genera.

• Genus is a taxonomic group including closely related species.
