Explanation:
TAXON:
In biology, a taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established.
TAXON NAME:
A taxon is usually assigned a rank when it is given its formal name. The basic ranks are species and genus. When an organism is given a species name it is assigned to a genus, and the genus name is part of the species name. The species name is also called a binomial, that is, a two-term name
EXAMPLE OF TAXON:
A taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. For example, the basic level of classification is species, followed by genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, in ascending order. ... So each of these categories can be called as a taxon.
TAXON'S FAMILY:
Family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy; it is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus.
