What is "group" property for in Gradle?

Question

Gradle documentation lists group as a property of Project.

I failed to find any hints about the purpose and/or usage of this property.

Please point me into the right direction.

group signifies the groupId of the project/task that is being worked on.

com.example:my-project:0.1
