Do organisms have to be the the same species in order to breed and produce offspring?
No, organisms of different species can breed and produce offspring. Donkeys and horses can breed and produce mules but mules cannot produce offspring.
Why are horse and donkeys not the same species?
Donkeys and horses are not from the same species because of this: In sexual organisms, two organisms belong to the same species if they are able to breed and have fertile offspring. Although horses and donkeys can have mules, they are infertile, so they are two separate species and the mule is a hybrid.

Is taxonomy evolution?
no, taxonomy is not evolution. Taxonomy is the science of naming species. Taxonomy, though, makes evolution clearly apparent, as new species require new naming conventions, however similar they may seem. and a "species" is defined as something that can establish its own breeding population...something that can sustain a propagating population. So horses are a species, donkeys are a species, but mules, the hybrid of horses and donkeys, are not, since they could not mate with other mules reliably to create a new "species" called mules without the help of either parent Mules, then, instead of a species, are called a hybrid.
