There are no Saxophone parts in the modern orchestra. Though composers do add saxophone parts to specific pieces, saxophones are not generally included in orchestral music. This is because the saxophone is a very young instrument in a relative sense- it was invented in the 1840's, and composers were only taking the instrument seriously by the late 1800's. This is also coupled by the cancellation of saxophone instruction at the Paris Conservatory for several decades, which severely limited the availability of high quality teaching and instrumental developent.

In the modern orchestra or band the woodwind section usually contains piccolos, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, contrabassoons, soprano saxophones, alto saxophones, baritone saxophones, and tenor saxophones. However, there are many other woodwind instruments out there such as recorders, bagpipes, panflutes, aulos, duduks, ocarinas, shawms, crumhorns, gemshorns, didgeridoo, kortholt, dulcians, and shvis, just to name some off the top of my head. Hope this helped.

No, all saxophones are not considered orchestra instruments. However, often times there are pieces featuring saxophone players and orchestras hire them for single pieces.
Saxophones are not normally used in orchestras. There are exceptions, however, and when they are used, they are in the woodwind section.
