Domesticated animals, plants, and other organisms are those whose collective behaviour, life cycle, or physiology has been altered as a result of their breeding and living conditions under careful human control for multiple generations.

The word domestication is also used as a synonym of taming, though this word can apply to a single animal, while domestication concerns a population or a species as a whole.
