A category is a rank in a generic hierarchy, not necessarily biological, commonly referred to as a taxon. The category is an abstract term representing a rank or level, while a taxon represents a biological object assigned to a category (e.g., taxon of birds is aves, category is class).
Una categoria è un rango in una gerarchia generica, non necessariamente biologica, comunemente indicata come taxon. La categoria è un termine astratto che rappresenta un rango o un livello; un taxon rappresenta un oggetto biologico e viene assegnato a una categoria (es. taxon di uccelli=aves, categoria=classe).

Taxon represents a biological object and is assigned to a category. For example, taxon of birds is aves and the category is class. Taxonomy of sponges is peripheral and the category is phylum. On classifying an organism in a particular taxon, we should have basic knowledge of characters of the individual group. |
