Race

Explanation:

In sociology, the term race refers to a division sociologists made of people based on their physical inherited characteristics. In other words, the term race describes a group with similar physical characteristics that make them different from another group of people (like the color of their skin, the type or color of their hair, etc).

Therefore, we can say that race is the term that sociologists use to describe a socially defined group of people who are generally considered to be physically distinct in some way
