also isnt suppose to be a domain? @Zale101

Answer 5

Yeah it's Domain. Domain is pretty new. Kingdom used to be the "broadest."

"Broadest" means "largest," or "most general."
It's the group with the most number of organisms.

You know the order, right?

Domain >> Kingdom >> Phylum >> Class >> Order >> Family >> Genus >> Species

That's the classification order.
And as we go down the list, we get more and more specific.

Domain is the LEAST specific group.
That's why it's the "broadest" group. It has the greatest number of organisms, out of all the groups.
