Genus
Genus explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to organize your closet, where you have different types of clothing like t-shirts, sweaters, and jackets. This task is similar to the concept of a genus, where you group similar species together, just like you group similar types of clothing. In this analogy, each type of clothing (t-shirts, sweaters, jackets) represents a different species, while the overall organization category (like "tops" or "outerwear") represents the genus, showing how both involve grouping similar items or entities based on shared characteristics.
