taxon
No, a key is not a taxon. A key is a tool used in biology to help identify and classify organisms based on their characteristics. Taxon refers to a group of organisms at a particular level of classification, such as species, genus, family, etc.
The taxon that ends in -ophyta is Phylum Chlorophyta, which includes green algae.
Class is a higher taxon than order in the hierarchy of biological classification. Classes consist of multiple orders, which in turn consist of multiple families, genera, and species.
The smallest taxon in biological classification is species. It consists of individuals that are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
