The pathogen $Microsporum$ responsible for ringworm disease in humans belongs to the same Kingdom of organisms as that ofRingworm is caused by fungi of the genera $Microsporum$, $Trichophyton$ and $Epidermophyton$.
So $Microsporum$ belongs to the Kingdom Fungi.
$Rhizopus$, the bread mould, is also a fungus (a phycomycete).
$Ascaris$, $Taenia$ and $Wuchereria$ are helminths belonging to Kingdom Animalia.
Hence $Microsporum$ belongs to the same kingdom as $Rhizopus$.
