In biological classification, rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain, etc. A given rank subsumes under it less general categories, that is, more specific descriptions of life forms.
Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and species, with order fitting in between class and family. An immediately higher rank, superorder, may be added directly above order, while suborder would be a lower rank.2.a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank.he complete sequence of ranks is life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species In biology, a phylum (plural: phyla) [note is a taxonomic rank below Kingdom and above Class.
