What is another word for breeds?
Pronunciation: [bɹˈiːdz] (IPA) 
Breeds are different types of animals or plants that share certain characteristics and are recognized as a distinct group. Synonyms for breeds include species, varieties, strains, lineages, bloodlines, pedigrees, and types. The terms "breed" and "species" are often used interchangeably, but species typically refers to a larger group of organisms with similar characteristics. Varieties and strains both imply a subcategory of a larger group, with variations in traits or genetics. Lineages and bloodlines both suggest the passing down of traits through generations. Pedigrees typically refer to animals with documented ancestry. Types can refer to any distinct group, regardless of whether they are naturally occurring or have been selectively bred.
