genus
A classification grouping that consists of a number of similar, closely related species
A genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of organisms. It represents a group of closely related species that share a common ancestor and similar characteristics. In taxonomy, the genus is placed above the species level and below the family level. The scientific name of an organism consists of both genus and species name. For example, the scientific name of humans is Homo sapiens, where “Homo” is the genus and “sapiens” is the species. There are thousands of genera in the living world, ranging from plants, animals to microbes. The classification of organisms into genera is based on their morphology, physiology, genetics and other aspects of their anatomy and life cycle.
