Since the category is a part of the overall taxonomic arrangement,it is referred to as a taxonomic category.

Column-$I$ (Category)	Column-$II$ (Characteristic)
$(a)$ Species	$(i)$ Group of related families
$(b)$ Genus	$(ii)$ Group of related species
$(c)$ Order	$(iii)$ Organisms capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring
