Detailed explanation-1: -The current taxonomic system now has eight levels in its hierarchy, from lowest to highest, they are: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain.
Detailed explanation-2: -A domain is a taxon that is larger and more inclusive than the kingdom. Most biologists agree there are three domains of life on Earth: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya (see the Figure below).
Detailed explanation-3: -Genus is a broader group with more than one species and phylum is a larger group with less similar organisms. All of these are placed under a much larger group called kingdom. Hence species is the smallest and basic unit of taxonomic hierarchy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Levels of Taxonomic Classification: Domain Domain is the largest taxon and each domain contains more organisms than the taxons below it.
