Define and explain the following taxonomic categories:
$(i)$ Phylum $(ii)$ Class $(iii)$ Family $(iv)$ Order $(v)$ Genus

(N/A) $(i)$ Phylum: $A$ category higher than class and lower than kingdom. It comprises classes with a few common features. In plants,the term 'division' is used instead of phylum.
$(ii)$ Class: $A$ category that includes related orders. For example,the class Mammalia includes orders like Primata and Carnivora.
$(iii)$ Family: $A$ group of related genera with still less number of similarities as compared to genus and species. For example,the family Solanaceae includes genera like Solanum and Petunia.
$(iv)$ Order: $A$ category that includes related families. For example,the order Carnivora includes families like Felidae and Canidae.
$(v)$ Genus: $A$ group of related species which has more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera. For example,Panthera is a genus that includes species like leo (lion) and tigris (tiger).
