Kingdom
The Linnean system of taxonomy, or classification of organisms, is based on many subdivions and categories. They are: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. A species is part of a genus which is part of a family, et cetera. The traditional Kingdoms include Monera (now split into archaebacteria and eubacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
