Domain

Real World Example

Imagine you're sorting through a messy drawer full of various items, trying to make sense of everything. This task is similar to how scientists organize all living things into categories, starting with the broadest group called "domain," which is further divided into specific "kingdoms." Just like you would separate your drawer into broad categories like 'clothes,' 'tools,' and 'stationery' to make it manageable, scientists use domains to broadly categorize life forms, which are then divided into kingdoms, like further sorting your clothes into shirts, pants, and socks.
