Each step in classification represents arank or category called taxonomic category and all of
them makes taxonomic hierarchy. Each category is referred as unit of classification represents
rank & is commonly termed as taxon.
Groups represent category(eg-insects) & it further denotes rank/taxon.
These groupsicategory are distinct biological entities and not merely morphological aggregates.
