short definition:</h2>
<u><em> a species is a population or groups of populations that can potentially interbreed freely within and among themselves.</em></u>

<em><u> Subspecies, are subgroups within a species that have different traits </u></em>
<h2>
long definition</h2>
<em><u>A species is a group of organisms that (in the case of sexually reproducing organisms) can freely interbreed, producing fertile offspring. This definition has its problems, but overall, it encompasses the meaning of the word “species” in biology.</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u>A subspecies is, as the name implies, a smaller population within a species that share a particular common trait. Usually a sub species is at least partially genetically isolated from it’s parent species, so that interbreeding is less likely to occur. Most often a sub species is physically separated from the rest of the species, and may have some specific physical differences from the rest of the species. However, they are still able to interbreed with members of the parent population.</u></em>

The architecture of a kelp forest depends on its physical structure, which influences the species that occupy the forests. Kelp forests usually include three types of kelp and two types of algae:
1. Prostrate kelps lie near and along the sea floor and form the lowest level of kelps
2. Stipitate kelps are above the prostrate kelps upto a few meters above the seafloor.
3. The Canopy kelps include the largest species of kelp and often extends to the top of the ocean surface.
4. Coralline algae directly and often extensively cover geologic substrate i.e the sea floor.
5. The benthic assemblage is composed of other algal species.
