Inbiology,aphylum(/ˈfaɪləm/;pl.:phyla) is a level of classification ortaxonomic rankbelowkingdomand aboveclass.Traditionally, inbotanythe termdivisionhas been used instead of phylum, although theInternational Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plantsaccepts the terms as equivalent.[1][2][3]Depending on definitions, the animal kingdomAnimaliacontains about 31 phyla, the plant kingdomPlantaecontains about 14 phyla, and the fungus kingdomFungicontains about eight phyla. Current research inphylogeneticsis uncovering the relationships among phyla within largercladeslikeEcdysozoaandEmbryophyta.
General description
editThe term phylum was coined in 1866 byErnst Haeckelfrom the Greekphylon(φῦλον,"race, stock" ), related tophyle(φυλή,"tribe, clan" ).[4][5]Haeckel noted that species constantly evolved into new species that seemed to retain few consistent features among themselves and therefore few features that distinguished them as a group ( "a self-contained unity" ): "perhaps such a real and completely self-contained unity is the aggregate of all species which have gradually evolved from one and the same common original form, as, for example, all vertebrates. We name this aggregate [a]Stamm[i.e., stock] (Phylon). "[a]Inplant taxonomy,August W. Eichler(1883) classified plants intofive groupsnamed divisions, a term that remains in use today for groups of plants, algae and fungi.[1][6] The definitions of zoological phyla have changed from their origins in the sixLinnaeanclasses and the fourembranchementsofGeorges Cuvier.[7]
Informally, phyla can be thought of as groupings of organisms based on general specialization ofbody plan.[8]At its most basic, a phylum can be defined in two ways: as a group of organisms with a certain degree of morphological or developmental similarity (thepheneticdefinition), or a group of organisms with a certain degree of evolutionary relatedness (thephylogeneticdefinition).[9]Attempting to define a level of theLinnean hierarchywithout referring to (evolutionary) relatedness is unsatisfactory, but a phenetic definition is useful when addressing questions of a morphological nature—such as how successful different body plans were.[citation needed]
Definition based on genetic relation
editThe most important objective measure in the above definitions is the "certain degree" that defines how different organisms need to be members of different phyla. The minimal requirement is that all organisms in a phylum should be clearly more closely related to one another than to any other group.[9]Even this is problematic because the requirement depends on knowledge of organisms' relationships: as more data become available, particularly from molecular studies, we are better able to determine the relationships between groups. So phyla can be merged or split if it becomes apparent that they are related to one another or not. For example, thebearded wormswere described as a new phylum (the Pogonophora) in the middle of the 20th century, but molecular work almost half a century later found them to be a group ofannelids,so the phyla were merged (the bearded worms are now an annelidfamily).[10]On the other hand, the highly parasitic phylumMesozoawas divided into two phyla (OrthonectidaandRhombozoa) when it was discovered the Orthonectida are probablydeuterostomesand the Rhombozoaprotostomes.[11]
This changeability of phyla has led some biologists to call for the concept of a phylum to be abandoned in favour of placing taxa incladeswithout any formal ranking of group size.[9]
Definition based on body plan
editA definition of a phylum based on body plan has been proposed by paleontologistsGraham BuddandSören Jensen(as Haeckel had done a century earlier). The definition was posited because extinct organisms are hardest to classify: they can be offshoots that diverged from a phylum's line before the characters that define the modern phylum were all acquired. By Budd and Jensen's definition, a phylum is defined by a set of characters shared by all its living representatives.
This approach brings some small problems—for instance, ancestral characters common to most members of a phylum may have been lost by some members. Also, this definition is based on an arbitrary point of time: the present. However, as it is character based, it is easy to apply to the fossil record. A greater problem is that it relies on a subjective decision about which groups of organisms should be considered as phyla.
The approach is useful because it makes it easy to classify extinct organisms as "stem groups"to the phyla with which they bear the most resemblance, based only on the taxonomically important similarities.[9]However, proving that a fossil belongs to thecrown groupof a phylum is difficult, as it must display a character unique to a sub-set of the crown group.[9]Furthermore, organisms in the stem group of a phylum can possess the "body plan" of the phylum without all the characteristics necessary to fall within it. This weakens the idea that each of the phyla represents a distinct body plan.[12]
A classification using this definition may be strongly affected by the chance survival of rare groups, which can make a phylum much more diverse than it would be otherwise.[13]

Total numbers are estimates; figures from different authors vary wildly, not least because some are based on described species,[14]some on extrapolations to numbers of undescribed species. For instance, around 25,000–27,000 species of nematodes have been described, while published estimates of the total number of nematode species include 10,000–20,000; 500,000; 10 million; and 100 million.[15]

Plants
editThe kingdom Plantae is defined in various ways by different biologists (seeCurrent definitions of Plantae). All definitions include the livingembryophytes(land plants), to which may be added the two green algae divisions,ChlorophytaandCharophyta,to form the cladeViridiplantae.The table below follows the influential (though contentious)Cavalier-Smith systemin equating "Plantae" withArchaeplastida,[21]a group containing Viridiplantae and the algalRhodophytaandGlaucophytadivisions.
The definition and classification of plants at the division level also varies from source to source, and has changed progressively in recent years. Thus some sources place horsetails in division Arthrophyta and ferns in division Monilophyta,[22]while others place them both in Monilophyta, as shown below. The division Pinophyta may be used for allgymnosperms(i.e. including cycads, ginkgos and gnetophytes),[23]or for conifers alone as below.
Since the first publication of theAPG systemin 1998, which proposed a classification ofangiospermsup to the level oforders,many sources have preferred to treat ranks higher than orders as informal clades. Where formal ranks have been provided, the traditional divisions listed below have been reduced to a very much lower level, e.g.subclasses.[24]

Phylum Microsporidia is generally included in kingdom Fungi, though its exact relations remain uncertain,[44]and it is considered aprotozoanby the International Society of Protistologists[45](seeProtista,below). Molecular analysis of Zygomycota has found it to bepolyphyletic(its members do not share an immediate ancestor),[46]which is considered undesirable by many biologists. Accordingly, there is a proposal to abolish the Zygomycota phylum. Its members would be divided between phylum Glomeromycota and four new subphylaincertae sedis(of uncertain placement):Entomophthoromycotina,Kickxellomycotina,Mucoromycotina,andZoopagomycotina.[44]
Protists
editKingdomProtista(or Protoctista) is included in the traditional five- or six-kingdom model, where it can be defined as containing alleukaryotesthat are not plants, animals, or fungi.[16]: 120 Protista is aparaphyletictaxon,[47]which is less acceptable to present-day biologists than in the past. Proposals have been made to divide it among several new kingdoms, such asProtozoaandChromistain theCavalier-Smith system.[48]
Protist taxonomy has long been unstable,[49]with different approaches and definitions resulting in many competing classification schemes. Many of the phyla listed below are used by theCatalogue of Life,[50]and correspond to the Protozoa-Chromista scheme,[45]with updates from the latest (2022) publication byCavalier-Smith.[51]Other phyla are used commonly by other authors, and are adapted from the system used by the International Society of Protistologists (ISP). Some of the descriptions are based on the 2019 revision of eukaryotes by the ISP.[52]

The number of protist phyla varies greatly from one classification to the next. The Catalogue of Life includesRhodophytaandGlaucophytain kingdom Plantae,[50]but other systems consider these phyla part of Protista.[71]In addition, less popular classification schemes uniteOchrophytaandPseudofungiunder one phylum,Gyrista,and all alveolates exceptciliatesin one phylumMyzozoa,later lowered in rank and included in a paraphyletic phylumMiozoa.[51]Even within a phylum, other phylum-level ranks appear, such as the case ofBacillariophyta(diatoms) withinOchrophyta.These differences became irrelevant after the adoption of acladisticapproach by the ISP, where taxonomic ranks are excluded from the classifications after being considered superfluous and unstable. Many authors prefer this usage, which lead to the Chromista-Protozoa scheme becoming obsolete.[52]

Classifications of organisms in hierarchical systems were in use by the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Usually, organisms were grouped according to their morphological similarities as perceived by those early workers, and those groups were then grouped according to their similarities, and so on, to form a hierarchy.
