To answer all your questions:
Like Wolverman copied and pasted for you zoology is a combination of the Greek words "zoo" meaning animal and "logy" meaning the study of, so it is literally "the study of animals"

So the definition of zoology is " the study of animals"

Animals are the important things in zoology or to put it more scientific, the taxonomic kingdom Animalia.

Zoology is a subsection of Biology (bio meaning life - so "the study of life). Biology deals with all the taxonomic kingdoms like plants, fungi, bacteria, animals and archeabacteria. So all Zoologists (scientists that study zoology) are biologists but not all biologists are zoologists.

Technically humans are an animal so zoology can also include the biological study of humans but humans are rarely the study specimen.

Zoology is still a very large topic, very few zoologists study zoology as a whole. It is more common to study a particular style like individual zoology or population zoology or to study a type of animal like birds.

Hope this was helpful.

Zoology (rarely spelled zoölogy) is the biological discipline which involves the study of non-human animals.

The word zoology comes from Greek ζῴον, zoon ("animal"), and λογία, -logy ("the study of"), from λόγος, word, speech.

The pronunciation of "zoology" is [zoʊˈɑləʤɪ], however it is common to hear this word mispronounced as [zuˈɑləʤɪ], due to the familiarity of the word "zoo" which is an abbreviation of "zoological garden."
