the most widely accepted defination is organism or population that are same phsiologically, and can mate and reproduce offspring that can reproduce.
there are many other definations.
now they use DNA similarity to classify a species but some people prefer to classify them using physical structure.

Note: taxonomy is an imprecise art, so the concept of speciation is fundamentally flawed -- especially to the extent that it relies on morphology;
However, according to Onelook.com:
- noun: a specific kind of something (Example: "A species of molecule")
- noun: (biology) taxonomic group whose members can interbreed
