Define a taxon. Give some examples of taxa at different hierarchical levels.
Each unit or category of classification is termed as a taxon. It represents a rank. For example, the basic level of classification is species, followed by genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, in ascending order. The highest level of classification is known as kingdom. So each of these categories can be called as a taxon.

2. Green Alga | Fern | Mushroom | Grass | Eucalyptus | Neem |
3. Flatworm | Insect | Spider | Bear | Crow | Tiger |
4. Roundworm | Bird | Lizard | Elephant | Wolf | Dog |
