I think the more features two organisms share or the shared anatomical features, the closely related they are. For example; the class insecta (e. g bee, butterfly) and the class arachnida (e. g spider and tick) belong to phylum arthropoda because they have similar anatomical features such as appendages, segmented body among other features.
