Comment (by lukecavanagh):

 Seems like that is defined here.
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/user-
 edit.php#L363

 Using this function.
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_dropdown_roles/

 So default user roles in core hierarchy would be the following then?

 '''Super Admin
 Administrator
 Editor
 Author
 Contributor
 Subscriber'''
