All the individuals of a particular organism, such as rose plants, belong to a taxonomic category called species.
In biological classification, the species is the fundamental taxonomic rank. A species is typically defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed naturally and produce fertile offspring. All individuals of a specific type of organism, like a particular species of rose plant (e.g., *Rosa gallica*), belong to that single species. A genus is a group of closely related species, a family is a group of related genera, and an order is a group of related families.
The hierarchy of taxonomic ranks typically includes Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The scientific name of an organism uses binomial nomenclature, consisting of the genus name and the species name (e.g., *Homo sapiens*).
