Answer 2

Answer:

Phylum, or stem, the sum total of all those organisms which have probably descended from one common lower form. The group or Phylum Protozoa is divided into four smaller groups or classes.

Explanation:

In biology, a phylum is a level of classification or taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany, the term division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent.
