In taxonomy, the domain of all eukaryotes - Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize all the apps on your smartphone into neat, manageable folders. Just like how you categorize apps into folders such as "Productivity," "Entertainment," "Social," and "Utilities" to make your phone easier to navigate, scientists classify all living organisms into broad categories called domains to better understand the diversity of life. In this analogy, the domain of eukarya is like one of those folders, containing all the 'apps' or organisms that share a certain level of complexity—Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia—similar to how you group apps with similar functions together for convenience and clarity.
