Species generally is a biological term that means the basic unit of classification. It is the group that consists of organisms that are similar in character and can undergo the process of inbreeding among themselves even in natural conditions and then result in the formation of fertile offspring. Species are also found to be those organisms that have a similar gene pool as well.

Why is a key helpful in the identification and classification of an organism?
Define and understand the following terms:
(i) Phylum
(ii) Class
(iii) Family
(iv) Order
(v) Genus
Can you identify the correct sequence of taxonomic categories?
(a) Species → Order → Phylum → Kingdom
(b) Genus → Species → Order → Kingdom
(c) Species → Genus → Order → Phylum
Define a taxon. Give some examples of taxa at different hierarchical levels.
