Taxonomic hierarchy is a definite sequence of taxonomic categories arranged in descending order starting from kingdom and reaching up to species or an ascending order starting from species and reaching up to kingdom. The taxonomic hierarchy was first proposed by Carolus Linnaeus and it includes seven taxonomic categories, arranged in descending order as:
