Accordingly, the two major groups or subkingdoms of animals are 1. Protozoa (unicellular or single-celled animals) and 2. Metazoa ( animals composed of many cells with formation of tissues and organs) Next to sub-kingdoms are described the phyla, classes , and orders, etc. As required under the syllabus we describe the classification only up to classes.
