A group of closely related classes is called Phylum.
The genus comprises a group of related species which has more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera.
Classes comprising animals like fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds along with mammals constitute the next higher category called Phylum. All these, based on the common features like presence of notochord and dorsal hollow neural system, are included in phylum Chordata.
