In the future, 4 tulips, (Captain Skipper, and the 3 warriors) are waiting to be sent out to fight in a intergalactic

war against the roses. While they were waiting to be sent out, one of the warriors asks

"Who are we related to Captain? What are we classified as?"

"Well, lets start from the very beginning of our classification, little warrior." the Captain said

Well we are in the Domain Eukarya, and we are in the Kingdom Plantae!

"Woah, hold on Captain Skipper sir! What the heck is a Domain? Whats a Eukarya? Whats a-"

Captain Skipper interrupted and said" A Domain is the broadest classification for animals, plants and other organisms."

Captain Skipper continued and said "Eukarya is one of the 3 domains." All the tulips nodded in understanding.

"A kingdom is a tiny bit more specific than the Domain in terms of organizing."

"There are 4 Kingdoms in the domain Eukarya." Skipper said "Animalia, Fungi, Protista, and Plantae."

The smallest tulip squealed " Captain! Captain! So we are in the Animalia kingdom? Are we Captain?"

"Sorry little dude, we are in the Plantae Kingdom" Captain Skipper replied

"Whats the difference between the Animalia Kingdom and the Plantae Kingdom?" Asks the littlest soldier

"The difference between Animalia and Plantae kingdom are the cells"

"What is a cell?" Asked the little soldier

"A cell is a basic unit of all living things" Replied Captain Skipper

"Anyways.." Captain Skipper continued "First of all, Plant cells have cell walls"

"The cell wall of a plant cell is made out of cellulose. and al-"

The soldier interrupted "What are all of those dots in the wall?"

""Those are chloroplasts, young soldier, they give color to our leaves"

the Captain replied. Then he said "While the animalia cells have no

cell walls". "Oh I get it!" The young soldier exclaimed.

Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

"Okay now, next, is the phylum which is Tracheophyta

"Sir, whats a phylum?" Asks the tallest tulip

"A phylum is a rank that classifies a organism under kingdom"
Captain Skipper replied

"Then there is Liliopsida, is under the class rank."
Captain Skipper continued

"Are we finished yet?" The little soldier complained.

"No!" Captain Skipper shouted "We are not done yet,
are you crazy? We have 4 more ranks to go through
little soldier!"

"Next, my soldiers is the order rank, is Liliales." Captain Skipper said
Then the tallest soldier asked " Does that rank have to do with putting
soldiers from strongest to weakest? Or does it-"

"Soldier! Its just another rank in the taxonomy system! Have
you been listening soldier?!" Captain Skipper shouted

Then we go into the next rank, family, which is Liliaceae, or
the Lily family." Captain Skipper said.

"So we are related to Lily plants?" The little soldier asks

"Yup! We are we are related to plants like an onion
(Allium L.)." The Captain exclaimed.

Then the captain says
"And then finally, Genus and Species!"
