The term that describes one type of organism is species.
The term that describes one type of organism is "species." To categorize and classify living organisms, scientists use a hierarchical classification system called taxonomy. The taxonomy system consists of several levels, each representing a different category.
At the highest level, organisms are divided into three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Each domain contains different groups of organisms that share unique characteristics.
Within the domain level, the next level of classification is the kingdom. The five kingdoms are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera, depending on the characteristics and cellular structure of the organisms.
Further, within each kingdom, organisms are divided into phyla, then classes, then orders, then families, then genera (plural for genus), and finally, species.
The term "species" refers to the lowest and most specific level of classification. It represents a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Each species has its own unique characteristics that distinguish it from other species.
