Phylum

The third class of taxonomy (out of 8), above class and below kingdom. Traditionally, in botany, the term division has been used instead of phylum. It is a broad classification but it splits kingdoms into multiple groups. In the Plantae kingdom, there are about 14 groups.

There are currently eight classifications but plants use only seven.

Domain, Kingdom, Division, Class, Family, Genus, Species
