An order is a rank used in the biological taxonomy. Each order is split into families. There are many orders in each class.
Examples of order |
Carnivora is the order of meat-eating mammals. The cat family, dog family and bear family are in this order.
Rodents are an order. Rats and mice are in one family. Squirrels belong in another family.
Pine trees are an order. This order includes the cypress and yew families.
Some orders, such as the pigeons, have only one family.
