In taxonomy, the phylum is a major category towards the top of the heirarchial tree. Notwithstanding there are several classifications above (higher). Arthropods are directly below a taxon Panarthropoda, which is under Ecdysozoa (moulters with a certain description of cuticle), Protostomia (bilaterally symmetric with a certain germ layer configuration), Bilateria (bilaterally symmetric); Eumetazoa (true tissues, with a certain embryonic phase), Metazoa (animals with a fixed type of body plan); Opisthokonta (broad taxon of eukaryotes with organized cell nuclei and certain other characteristics); Eukaryota (distinct cell nuclei); which falls under cellular organisms.

Wikipedia has a great article about the huge diversity in arthropoda.
