Detailed explanation-1: -According to the most widely used species definition, the biological species concept, a species is a group of organisms that can potentially interbreed, or mate, with one another to produce viable, fertile offspring. In this definition, members of the same species must have the potential to interbreed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Species are a group of similar organisms that are capable of interbreeding.
