"Kingdom" is the upper most level of classification. Each kingdom has several subcategories, called phyla, but each phylum has only one kingdom above it.

∙ 15y agoKingdoms are broken down into 6 categories: Kingdom Bacteria - true bacteria Kingdom Archaea - ancient bacteria (also known as Archaebacteria) Kingdom Protista - unicellular parasites, diatoms, dinoflagellates, red , brown and green algae, oomycetes. protozoa, slime moulds. Kingdom Fungi - Chytrids, moulds, yeast, rusts, smuts, puff-balls, mushrooms, toadstools and lichens. Kingdom Plantae - land plants: liverworts and mosses(bryophytes); ferns; lycopods; seed plants, including cycads, ginkgo and conifers (gymnosperms) and flowering plants (angiosperms) Kingdom Animalia - Animals including, jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, flatworms, segimented worms, snails, crustaceans, Spiders, insects, seastars, tunicates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. as you can see a kingdom is a wide range of different "groups" of things. A species is a much simpler way of describing something or giving it a "group" eg) lion, horse, frog, cat - simply the type of animal. i hope this helped :)
