In the taxonomic hierarchy, phylum is placed above class and below kingdom.

As one moves from species towards kingdom, the categories become broader and include more organisms, while the number of common characteristics decreases.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 1: The Living World Taxonomic Categories - Species and Genus
As one moves from species towards kingdom, categories become broader and the number of common characteristics shared by their members decreases.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 1: The Living World What is Living? Characteristics of Living Organisms
As one moves from species towards kingdom, the number of common characteristics decreases. Lower taxa contain members with more characteristics in common.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 1: The Living World What is Living? Characteristics of Living Organisms
A fundamental principle of taxonomic hierarchy is that as we proceed upwards from the lowest category (species) to the highest category (kingdom), the number of common or similar characteristics among the members goes on decreasing. This happens because higher taxa encompass a much wider evolutionary diversity than lower, closely related taxa.
