释义 | taxonomic category (once / 3939771 pages) n WORD FAMILY taxonomic category: taxonomic categories USAGE EXAMPLESOnly recently have tardigrades been given their own phylum, a major taxonomic category. New York Times(Sep 07, 2015) The first group of marine invaders to go live on the Web site are the tunicates, a taxonomic category sometimes referred to as sea squirts. New York Times(Mar 13, 2012) Such features are often of utmost importance in distinguishing the higher taxonomic categories.
