Taxonomic classification involves sorting a given organism into progressively more specific levels of categories until you find its unique name. Rank the items from the most general to most specific taxonomic category.

Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species

Explanation:

The formal system of classification used in taxonomy was introduced by a Swiss scientist named Carolus Linnaeus.

He first split living things into a general category called KINGDOM.

- The kingdom is further split into large smaller groups called PHYLUM (for animals) and DIVISION (for plants).

- Each phylum or division is broken down into CLASSES.

- Each class is broken down into ORDERS

- Orders into FAMILIES,

- Families into GENUS

- Genus into SPECIES

Thus, the system of classification from highest (most general category) to the lowest level is as follows: Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species
