GROUP 1)4)

"A set of single organisms, commonly called members, which, over a period of time or multiple interrupted periods, relate to one another face-to-face, processing matter-energy and information" (J.G. MILLER, 1978, p.515).
This is the fourth level of complexity in J.G. MILLER's taxonomy of living systems.
A group is made of interacting biological organisms.
The group becomes organized in order to execute useful tasks that its participants would not be able to tackle individually.
