There are over 1.7 million species of living things in our world. As mentioned previously, scientists have arranged all living things into a classification system based on their physical characteristics. All living things are divided into 5 Kingdoms  which  in turn are divided into phylum, then class, order, family, genus, and finally species. Below you will find a general explanation of "The Taxonomy of Living Things.

Now, the next category is called Phyla. Each of the 5 kingdoms is then divided into several phyla. The phyla category begins to break-up the animals, plants, bacteria etc. into smaller groups. A few examples of phyla in the animal kingdom are: Arthropoda (spiders, insects, crustaceans); Mollusca (clams, snails, squid); and the most common phylum, Chordata - animals with backbones (mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, birds). 


After phyla, is Class which breaks up animals into more groups that you would find familiar.  The phylum Chordata is broken down into several classes. Here are four examples of the classes found in the phylum called Chordata: Reptilia (reptiles), Mammalia (mammals), Aves (birds),  and Amphibia (amphibians).


The next category is the Order. Each class is made up of orders. The Mammalia class can be broken down into  Primates (monkeys), Perissodactyla (horses, zebras) Rodentia (rats, mice), Chiroptera (bats), Insectivora (moles), Carnivora (dogs, cats, weasels),  Artiodactyla (cows), Proboscidea (elephants) and several more.


After Order is Families. The order Carnivora can be broken down into several families such as Ursidae (bears), Mustelidae (weasels, wolverines), Canidae (dogs), Felidae (cats), Hyaenidae (hyaenas, wolves) to name a few.


The next category is the Genus. The family Felidae (cats), for example, can be broken down into Acinonyx (cheetah), Panthera (lion, tiger), Felis (domestic cats) etc.


After genus is the final category of Species. The genus Panthera (lion, tiger) is broken down into Panthera leo (lion) and Panthera tigris (tiger).

Biodiversity or biological difference indicates the diversity of living organisms existing in a distinct area. There are approximately 20 lac bions identified on the Earth which vary from one another in the external appearance, internal composition, form of nutrition, habitat, etc. All subsisting organisms are organized into combinations based on very basic, accorded characters. Organisms within the specific association are then additionally separated into humbler groups. This grouping method makes it more accessible for specialists to study several combinations of organisms.
