Expert Solution
Step 1

A tree or shrub in the genus Quercus of the Fagaceae family of beech is known as an oak. The number of living oak species is around 500. As well as being used in the names of unrelated species like Grevillea robusta (silky oaks) and the Casuarinaceae, the common word "oak" is also used in the names of species in allied genera, most notably Lithocarpus (stone oaks) (she-oaks).
