Just one level more specific than kingdom, a phylum is a cavernous space to occupy alone: Our phylum, Chordata, overflows with more than 65,000 living species ranging from peacocks to whales to eels.

If you are reading this, the odds are high that you are a member of the animal kingdom: phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, species Homo sapiens.

Pyrosomes are pelagic Tunicates, which are part of Chordata, a phylum that includes humans.

Chordata is the most well known group, even though it is quite small in the number of individuals it contains.

As an example, we humans are a species called sapiens of the Genus Homo in the Family Hominid in the Order Primate of the Class Mammalia in the Phyla Chordata of the Animal Kingdom.
