Class is smaller than phylum and contains orders.
- a domain is the highest level of organization - within a domain, there are kingdoms - withing kingdoms, there are phyla (singular phylum) - within phyla are classes - within classes are orders - within orders are families - each family contains one or more genera - each genus contains one or more species
The hierarchy of biological classification is: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Phylum: Magnoliophyta (Devision: Magnoliophyta)
In taxonomy, classes with similar characteristics are under the classification level of "phylum." The classification levels (from broad to specific) are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Ergo, a phylum contains classes with similar characteristics.
The phylum classification of carabao grass is Magnoliophyta, which includes flowering plants.
A "family" is a much smaller classification in taxonomy than Vertebrata, which is a sub-phylum of the phylum Chordata (chordates). There are many families within the classes and orders of Vertebrata.

Kingdom. Phylum. Class. Order. Family. Genus. Species.
Kingdoms are divided into smaller groups called phyla (singular: phylum). Each phylum encompasses organisms that share a fundamental structural framework and evolutionary lineage. Below phyla, the classification continues with classes, orders, families, genera, and species, creating a hierarchical system for organizing biological diversity.
In taxonomy, classes with similar characteristics are under the classification level of "phylum." The classification levels (from broad to specific) are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Ergo, a phylum contains classes with similar characteristics.
Two organisms in the same class but different orders share the same phylum, kingdom, and domain in their taxonomic classification.
In taxonomy, arthropods would not be an order but a much larger grouping called a phylum (phylum Arthropoda). Taxa are hierarchical, with the smaller divisions below phyla being subphyla, and within them, the classes/subclasses, then below that, the Orders. You might say that phylum Arthropoda has a lot of orders "inside it."
