A phylum is used to categorize living things. In the case of petrified wood, it was once living, but the term "petrified wood" can be applied to a number of different plant phyla that have undergone the petrification process over time. The actual type of plant (or tree) would have to be identified in each case, and then the investigator would have to do some research into the fossil record to find the classification of that particularplant.
