Crawfish, also known as crayfish or crawdads, belong to the animal kingdom and the phylum Arthropoda. More specifically, they fall under the class Malacostraca and the order Decapoda, which includes crustaceans with ten limbs (hence the name "Decapoda"). Crawfish are further classified into various families, genera, and species based on specific characteristics and features.
