    Life is classified in many levels from less specific to more specific:

    Domain (bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes)

    Kingdom

    Phylum

    Class

    Order

    Family

    Genus

    Species

    The domains 'contains' the most number of organisms, species contain the least number of organisms.

    Species

    Explanation:

    The highest taxonomic category is domain followed by kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Among this, being the highest category, domain includes maximum number of organisms. On the other hand, being the lowest taxonomic category, species would include least number of organisms.

    Example: Domain "eukarya" includes all the eukaryotic organisms while species "sapiens" includes only present day human beings.
