Genus

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize your closet, where you have different types of clothing like shirts, pants, and jackets. This is similar to the concept of a genus, where a group is made up of similar species, just as your closet is organized by similar types of clothing. Just as you categorize your clothes by their similarities to make it easier to find what you need, a genus groups species that share common characteristics, helping scientists understand and classify the diversity of life.
