Solution
A phylum is a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class.
Phyla can be thought of as grouping organisms based on general specialization of body plan. At its most basic, a phylum can be defined in two ways: as a group of organisms with a certain degree of morphological or developmental similarity , or a group of organisms with a certain degree of evolutionary relatedness.
