You mean like The Linnean Taxonomic Hierarchy??
Where you have the following nomenclature:

Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Tribe (optional)
Genus
Species

It only means that living things are divided up into big categories, the kingdoms, and then the kingdoms are divided further, and so on. The standard levels in classification today are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

It's like state, county, city, ward, neighborhood, house, room.
