It is a taxonomical hierarchy below Kingdom and above class. It is a taxon with one or more classes organisms with similar characteristics.

\huge\mathtt{\underline{Family}}

It has a group of related genera with still less number of similarities as compared to genus and species.

Ex:- Fox and dog belongs to the same family. It is a group of entities below order and above genus.

\huge\mathtt{\underline{Order}}

It is a tax on below higher than family and lower than class. Order being a higher category is the assemblable of families which exhibit a few similar characters.

Answer:

A particular level of hierarchy in the classification of living beings is called as a taxon. A taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.

A particular level of hierarchy in the classification of living beings is called as a 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. The highest level of classification is known as a kingdom. So each of these categories can be called as a taxon.
