The kingdom Animalia comprises 36 phyla.

Answer 2

Answer:

The distinction between phylum and kingdom as nouns is that the former is (biology|taxonomy) a rank in the classification of organisms, below kingdom and above class; it is also referred to as a division, particularly when describing plants; and a taxon at that rank, whereas kingdom is a nation with a king or queen as its supreme ruler.

Explanation:

Two taxonomic levels are utilised in the biological classification of organisms: phylum and division. Biology's branch of taxonomy classifies and identifies organisms according to their traits and evolutionary past. Division and phylum exist above class but below kingdom. The fundamental distinction between phylum and division is that the former is a level of classification found in the animal kingdom, whilst the latter is found in the kingdoms of plants and fungi. The lower classification level of the kingdoms Protista and Monera is sometimes referred to as a division. There are 36 phyla in the kingdom Animalia. There are 12 phyla in the kingdom Plantae and 7 in the kingdom Fungi.
