seven, and they are:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
An easy way to remember this is by saying Kings Play Chess On Fat Guy's Stomach. It's silly, but it helps me remember. ;)
In Linnaeus' system of classification, there were seven taxonomic categories: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

The largest taxonomic category in Linnaeus's system of classification is the kingdom.
Evolutionary classification groups organisms based on their shared evolutionary history and genetic relationships, while Linnaeus's system of classification is based on observable physical features and similarities. Evolutionary classification reflects the understanding that all organisms are related through common ancestry, while Linnaeus's system focuses on organizing organisms into hierarchical categories based on shared physical characteristics.
Linnaeus developed his classification system for organisms based on their morphology, or physical characteristics. He used a hierarchical system, grouping organisms into categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This system became known as binomial nomenclature, where each species is given a two-part Latin name.
The book in which Linnaeus published his classification system was called "Systema Naturae".
The general term for any level in a taxonomic system is a "taxon." Taxa can range from broad categories like kingdom to specific categories like genus or species, depending on the level of classification being considered.

The largest taxonomic category in Linnaeus's system is the kingdom. This category includes all living organisms and is further divided into smaller categories like phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
The first person to create the system which led to the modern system of biological classification was Carl Linnaeus.

Linnaeus had a more complex system, and Aristotle did not, as generations went bye, the classification of organisms grew more complex and Linnaeus created a system that would fit in with any new organism, on the other hand Aristotle had a less "complex" system.
The general term for any level in a taxonomic system is a "taxon." Taxa can range from broad categories like kingdom to specific categories like genus or species, depending on the level of classification being considered.
The first classification system was developed by Aristotle in ancient Greece around 350 BCE. His work laid the foundation for future classification systems, including the modern scientific classification system developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.
