Society is a group of interacting individuals. It is a group that includes numerous subgroups.
Any particular individual will be a member of several subgroups, but not of all. The individuals interact within the groups of which they are members by both cooperating and competing (in fact, competition cannot occur unless there is also cooperation).
The subgroups of society also interact by cooperating and competing. The basic subgroup of human society is the 'nuclear family' - so-called because families are the 'nuclei' of society. The human individual is constituted (except genetically) by society - not the other way around.
A society is not necessarily human. Ants, for example, are social (though ant society maximises cooperation and minimises competition). The individual ant is largely constituted genetically not socially.
