Taxa is the scientific term for each unit or category of classification. It indicates categories at different levels.
For example, the basic level of classification is species, followed by genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, in ascending order. The highest level of classification is known as the kingdom. So, each of these categories can be called as a taxon.
