The ascending hierarchy in animals is Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom. In plants, division is used in place of phylum.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 1: The Living World Taxonomic Categories - Family Order Class Phylum Kingdom
Species is a lower and more specific category than genus. Members of lower taxa share more characteristics than members grouped at higher taxonomic levels.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 1: The Living World What is Living? Characteristics of Living Organisms
