The classification system of taxonomy must be done in a certain hierarchical order following the Domain:

  1. Kingdom
  2. Phylum
  3. Class
  4. Order
  5. Family
  6. Genus
  7. Species

The five kingdom system has now been replaced by a six kingdom system. There is no specific hierarchy in the kingdoms. The five were:

Animalia (animal)

Plantae (plant)

Fungi (fungi)

Protista (comprised by various one-celled animals)

Monera

Modern classification is based on a six Kingdom system:

Animalia

Plantae

Fungi

Protista

Archaebacteria

Eubacteria

Monera was split into the two Kingdoms of Archaebacteria and Eubacteria for better groupings now that technology allows genetic testing to analyze the properties and classify more appropriately.
