Best Answer

Classification schemes are made by mankind, particularly by scientists. There is no natural reason that a domain is the highest level of life classification. The human reason is that we chose it to be. Why did we choose to name this level "domain". I can not give you a physical or scientific explanation for why your parents named you the way they did. In a similar manner I cannot give you a physical or scientific mechanism for how we arbitrarily name the levels of a given classification scheme
