Summary Introduction
To explain: The five major unranked taxa in the phylum level in animal taxonomy.
Introduction: Taxonomy is also called as arrangement law, which is a branch of science that is used to classify according to the predetermined system. The taxonomical classification is used to reveal the evolutionary relationship of the animal populations based on their taxon. Based on their taxonomic ranks, the animals are placed in the hierarchical system of taxonomy.

Autapomorphies are good characters to use because they describe every lineage of the clade and no other lineages b.
