Taxonomy is the study of different organisms, their classification into categories according to their morphological and molecular characteristics and their evolutionary relationships, and assigning to each them a binomial name.  

The categories where organisms are classified into are:

• Domains are the highest taxonomic category in which living beings can be grouped or divided. There are three domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

- The archaea domain  

- The bacteria domain  

- The eukarya domain  

• Kingdom: Includes different phyla closely relates.  

• Phylum: Includes different classes closely related.

• Class: Includes different orders closely relates.

• Order: Includes different families closely related

• Family: Includes different genera closely relates

• Genus: Includes many species → Lycaon, Vulpes, and Canis are genuses

• Species: Includes subspecies if there are → For instance, Canis lupus

       Subspecies subgroups inside the species group → Canis lupus familiaris

So each level includes the following levels.

In the exposed example, Canis lupus familiaris is a subspecies of the species Canis lupus.
