Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The species is the smallest and most significant taxon as it refers to a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. This means that members of the same species share common physical and genetic characteristics. The other taxonomic categories (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus) are either too broad or too narrow to capture the unique traits of a particular group of organisms.
