Take “Spider” for example, that is a fairly well definied term for all animals in the order “Araneae”. But that doesn’t really work for the term “Fish”. There a many dozens of completely different orders with thousands of species that are refered to as “Fish”. It’s a bit like saying “thing that swims in the water”.
You’ll get a lot of squids, seeweed, and all kinds of stuff with that, but not a bad start for a 5 year old. She’s way on her way to being a taxonomist :D

My 5 year old says “thing that swims in the ocean/lake with exception of mamals is good fish”
