A kingdom is a broad classification that includes many organisms sharing few similarities, whereas a species is a specific classification of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Kingdoms represent major divisions of life, while species represent a more precise grouping. The two concepts illustrate the hierarchical nature of biological classification, from broad to specific.
