Identify the most specific taxonomic level.

question 5 options:

genus

species

kingdom

order

Species

Explanation:

Species is the most specific and basic taxonomic level of classification and also the basic unit of biodiversity. Species is defined as group of highly closely related organisms that mate or breed to produce fertile offspring. After species genus is specific, and mostly organisms names are identified by species names and genus names as in binomial nomenclature, all scientific names are derived from genus and species e.g. the scientific name of frog is Rana tigrina, here 'Rana' is genus name that is always capitalized and 'tigrena' is species name that starts with small letter but both are always written in italics or underlined.

Potatoes  are from the grounds but they are considered as modified stem because they are capable of photosynthesis as what other stem plants do and they also  develop as thickened portions of stolons. these stolons are stem tissue, as they arise from stem tissue and they contain the vascular architecture of stem tissue buds, which are a characteristic of stem tissue and not the roots. moreover, the roots are incapable of photosynthesis. therefore, potato tuber is indeed a stem and not a root.
