The taxonomic categories which are always used in
hierarchical classification of organisms are called
obligate categories.
The taxonomic categories from species to kingdom are
broad categories or obligate categories. However,
taxonomists have developed sub-categories in this
hierarchy to facilitate more sound and scientific
placement of various taxa.
Intermediate categories are subphyla, subclasses,
suborders. subfamilies, subgenera, varieties or subspecies.
