Phylum is one of the ranks given to biological entities i.e life. It is one below Kingdom and one above class
For example
A Tyrannosaurus Rex is in the kingdom of Animalia, the Phylum Chordata and the class dinosauria. (Chordata includes all vertebrate life and some very closely related invertibrates)
A Triceratops is also in the kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata and the class dinosauria. T-Rex and Triceratops are both dinosaurs and are closely related.
A mammal such as a kangaroo or human is in the kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata but are in a different class called mammalia. We are not dinosaurs but are share common features such as a backbone.
An insect such as a cockroach are in the kingdom Animalia but the phylum is Arthopoda along with Spiders, centepedes and many other forms of invertibrate. We are more closely related to dinosaurs than house flies.
