Vedclass · Answer

(A) In biological classification,the term 'fishes' is a common name used to refer to a diverse group of aquatic vertebrates. Taxonomically,fishes are not a single 'Class' because they are divided into multiple classes such as $Chondrichthyes$ (cartilaginous fishes) and $Osteichthyes$ (bony fishes). Therefore,'fishes' is not a formal taxonomic category like 'Class' or 'Order'. Instead,it acts as a 'Taxon',which is a general term used for any rank or group of organisms in a classification system.
