The biggest are kingdoms and they go down to species in this order:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

Phyla is the plural of phylum. One phylum, many phyla.
Phylum
It will stress the evolutionary relationships between different phyla.
The word phyla is plural of the singular noun phylum.
The taxonomic rank "kingdom" is divided into smaller groups called "phyla." Phyla are further subdivided into classes, then orders, families, genera, and species.
Plants belong to the Kingdom Plantae, which is further classified into various divisions. The division is equivalent to the phylum for plants and includes groups like angiosperms (flowering plants), gymnosperms (cone-bearing plants), bryophytes (mosses), and ferns.
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.
The phylum for porcupines is Chordata, which includes all vertebrates.
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."

Yes. Chlamydomonas is a member of the division Chlorophyta. In Botany, divisions are used in place of phyla.
Minor phyla are taxonomic categories in biology that represent groups of organisms that are less commonly studied or have fewer known species compared to major phyla. They typically include smaller or less diverse groups of organisms within the classification system.

The fly is in the class of animalia and in the sub-class insectia. An insect is just a more specific type of animal (a class), just like a mammal or a reptile. Living things are classified from large, broad groups into smaller and smaller groups. The largest of these that is important here is a kingdom. Kingdoms are broken up into phyla, which are smaller. Phyla are then broken up into classes, which are broken up into orders, which are broken up into families, etc. Fruit flies are classified into two families (Tephritidae and Drosophilidae) which are parts of the order Diptera (which includes all flies). Diptera is part of the class Insecta (which includes all insects). Insecta is part of the phylum Arthropoda (which include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans). And Arthropoda is part of the kingdom Animalia, or the animal kingdom. If you are looking for the "common fruit fly" its scientific name is Drosophila melanogaster.
phyla?
A taxonomy of related phyla or divisions may include grouping organisms based on shared characteristics such as body structure, reproductive strategies, or genetic relationships. For example, animals within the phylum Chordata share a defining characteristic of having a notochord at some stage of their development. Another example is grouping plants into divisions based on the presence or absence of vascular tissue, such as the division between nonvascular plants (Bryophyta) and vascular plants (Tracheophyta).
