Did the King Play Chess On Fine Grained Sand for Plants Too?

Did the King Play Chess On Fine Grained Sand for Plants Too?
Does the plant kingdom follow the same phylum, chess, order, family, genus, species divisions as the animal kingdom?

I find it hard to understand how plant evolution could parallel animal evolution so closely. Is it rather that the king played chess on fine grained sand is just a fiat hierarchy of categories arbitrarily y superimposed on life to make things easier? Could they have been subdivided in other ways with different calibrations?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Linnaean divisions are a human construct, as are cladistics in general.
