A black widow spider, like all other Spiders, are:

Animalia -- animals, not plants or anything like that

Arthropoda -- animals that have their "skelaton" on the outside like insects, crabs, etc.

Chelicerata -- animals that have two main biting/chewing parts that are tipped with fangs in the case of spiders.

Arachnomorpha -- any of several kinds of animals that have the general body plan that is shared by spiders, a plan that excludes insects for instance.

Arachnida -- a group that includes scorpions as well as spiders and some others.

-- Then there are three "Suborder," one of which contains very ancient forms of spiders that only survive in a few places in the world, one of which contains tarantulas and other "primitive" spiders, and the kind of spiders that we can see all over the world.

So black widow spiders are not mammals, not amphibians, and not reptiles. They are more like horseshoe crabs than lizards. Horseshow crabs are also chelicerata, but they are not "spider form" creatures. Scorpions are Arachnida, but not any kind of spider.

Black widow spiders fit in with the kinds of spiders that make webs, and within that, to the group that doesn't make orb webs but makes messy-looking tangles in corners.

None of the above. Mammals reptiles and amphibians are vertebrates. A jumping spider is an invertebrate, specifically an arachnid.
