Line 3: {{Use dmy dates\|date=September 2020}} {{Biological classification}} '''Family''' ({{lang-la\|familia}}, {{plural form}}: '''{{lang\|la\|familiae}}''') is one of the eight major hierarchical [[taxonomic rank]]s in [[Linnaean taxonomy]]. It is classified between [[order (biology)\|order]] and [[genus]].<ref>{{Cite web\|date=2017-03-19 \|title=Taxonomy - Definition, Classification & Example \|url=https://biologydictionary.net/taxonomy/ \|access-date=2022-10-10 \|website=Biology Dictionary \|language=en-US}}</ref> A family may be divided into [[subfamily\|subfamilies]], which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are [[Latin]] in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, [[Juglans\|walnut trees]] and [[Hickory\|hickory trees]] belong to the family [[Juglandaceae]], but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". ~~Sacca Vajje~~ What belongs to a ~~family?~~family—or if Aa described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists.~~{{clarify\|date=June 2023}}~~ There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species.
