To answer the question "In case of plants, classes with a few similar characters are assigned to a higher category called," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Taxonomic Hierarchy**: - Taxonomy is the science of classification of living organisms. It involves several hierarchical categories. The main categories in taxonomy are: Kingdom, Phylum (or Division for plants), Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. 2. **Identifying the Relevant Categories**: - For plants, the term "division" is used instead of "phylum." Both terms refer to a higher taxonomic category that groups together similar classes. 3. **Classes in Taxonomy**: - A class is a taxonomic rank that groups together organisms that share certain characteristics. When multiple classes share similar traits, they are grouped into a higher category. 4. **Determining the Higher Category for Plants**: - In the case of plants, when classes with a few similar characters are grouped together, they are assigned to the higher category known as "division." 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "division." ### Final Answer: In case of plants, classes with a few similar characters are assigned to a higher category called **division**. ---
