Species can't breed with each other but there are half elves, half orcs, half humans, the sort. So race would be a more correct word than species.

Horses and donkeys are different species and they can breed.

Mules (the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse) can not have offspring. That keeps donkey and horses as separate species. It is similar to tigers and lions.

there is one more detail that can make things different species: location. Even though polar bears and grizzly bears can reproduce successfully, they don’t naturally contact one another and are therefore considered separate. Same thing with dogs and wolves; I could see that applying to underdark vs surface dwellers somehow

This reminds me of a particular gnome on a windmill that was annoyed when I mentioned living in the underdark
