Domestication (from the Latin domesticus: "of the home") is the cultivating or taming of a population of organisms in order to accentuate traits that are desirable to the cultivator or tamer. The traits that are sought may be for certain physical appearances, behavioral characteristics, individual sizes, litter sizes, hair/fur qualities or colors, rates of growth, or desired changes in fecundity, longevity, ability to use marginal grazing resources, production of by-products, and many others. Domestication can result in dependency on human activity. The organism may lose their ability to survive in the wild. This differs from taming in that a change in the phenotypical expression and genotype of the animal occurs, whereas taming is simply an environmental socialization/behavioral trait; the process by which animals become habituated to human presence.Plants domesticated primarily for aesthetic enjoyment in and around the home are usually called house plants or ornamentals, while those domesticated for large-scale food production are generally called crops. A distinction can be made between those domesticated plants that have been deliberately altered or selected for special desirable characteristics (see cultigen) and those plants that are used for human benefit, but are essentially no different from the wild populations of the species. Animals domesticated for home companionship are usually called pets, while those domesticated for food or work are called livestock or farm animals. Domestication is the process of changing plants or animals to make them more useful to humans. Domestication of plants led to the development of agriculture. Domestication led to many things such as the use of fibers to make clothes, making food, and the need to stay in one place.
