Question
When comparing the classification of wheat and humans, which hierarchical term is used for wheat that is NOT used for humans?
Explanation
Humans belong to the Kingdom Animalia, where the major category directly below Kingdom is 'Phylum' (Chordata). Wheat belongs to the Kingdom Plantae. In botanical nomenclature, the category equivalent to Phylum is called 'Division' (Angiospermae). Therefore, 'Division' is a term used exclusively for classifying plants like wheat, not animals.
