How did Linnaeus divide plants and animals
into smaller categories?

In the taxonomy of Linnaeus there are three kingdoms, divided into classes, and they, in turn, into orders, genera (singular: genus), and species (singular: species), with an additional rank lower than species. a term for rank-based classification of organisms, in general.

Linnaeus divided plants as vegetabilia

and animals as Animalia...
