Taxonomic Hierarchy Categories were also introduced by Linnaeus. They are also known as Linnaean hierarchy.
It is defined as sequence of categories in a decreasing or increasing order from kingdom to species and vice versa.
Kingdom is the highest rank followed by division, class, order, family, genus and species. Species is the lowest rank in the Hierarchy.
The hierarchy has two categories which are obligate and intermediate. Obligate means they are followed strictly and range from kingdom to species as said above. Intermediate are not followed strictly and they are added in obligate list such as subdivision, super family, super class, suborder, subspecies etc.
