The basis of grouping animals is to classify them. This provides an easy and organized way to study and learn about a species.
Edentata is an outdated taxonomic grouping that includes armadillos, sloths, and anteaters. These animals were grouped together based on their shared characteristic of lacking front teeth or having reduced teeth. However, this grouping is no longer used as these animals have been reclassified into different orders based on genetic and morphological data.

Phylum
One example of a genus of a worm is Lumbricus, which includes earthworms commonly found in soil. Genus is a taxonomic classification grouping species that are closely related based on their characteristics and evolutionary history.
A grouping of plants similar to the phylum of animals is called a division or phylum. Just like animals are categorized into phyla, plants are categorized into divisions based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. Each division represents a large group of plant species with common characteristics and ancestry.
The grouping of animals into families is called classification.
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).
Phylum is the second broadest classification grouping for animals, following Kingdom. Phylum divides animals into major groups based on general characteristics such as body structure and organization. Examples of phyla include Chordata (which includes vertebrates) and Arthropoda (which includes insects and crustaceans).
The first animal is thought to resemble current phyla such as sponges or cnidarians, based on genetic analyses and fossil evidence. These early animals likely had simple body plans and lacked complex features seen in more derived phyla.
Yes, Phylum is the category beneath Kingdom. In the Kingdom Animalia or Metazoa all animals are contained, further organised into phyla.
Classifying all animals that swim in the same phylum is overly broad as swimming is a behavior rather than a specific shared evolutionary trait. Animals that swim can belong to different phyla based on their anatomical and genetic characteristics. Grouping them solely based on swimming behavior would lead to an inaccurate and misleading classification system.
The only grouping of animals larger than a phylum in taxonomy is the kingdom. Kingdoms are broad categories that classify organisms into major groups based on their overall characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
The basis of grouping animals is to classify them. This provides an easy and organized way to study and learn about a species.
at this level, organisms are placed or grouped together based on similarities in basic body plan or organization.
Do you mean, 'How many phyla are there on Earth?' There are more than 20 phyla of bacteria, over 30 phyla of animals and 12 phyla of plants. Fungi and protists, who knows.....? Add up all these phyla, and you can see there is quite a lot.
