The highest taxonomic group, it is divided into kingdoms

Real World Example

Imagine you're organizing your closet, and you start by sorting all your clothes into broad categories like "workwear," "casual," and "formal." This process is similar to how scientists classify living organisms, starting with a broad category called a "domain," which is then divided into more specific groups known as "kingdoms." Just like sorting clothes helps you manage your wardrobe by grouping items into overarching categories before breaking them down further, classifying life forms into domains helps biologists organize and understand the vast diversity of life by starting with the broadest classification and narrowing it down into more specific categories.
