The degree of a polynomial is the highest sum of the exponents of the variables in any one term. For the given polynomial, the terms are $xyz^{6}$, $x^{6}y^{4}$, and $xz^{5}$. The degrees of these terms are 8 (1+1+6), 10 (6+4), and 6 (1+5) respectively. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 10.
