The Saxophone is a member of the Woodwind Family.
The sax is the youngest instrument in the band, being invented in the late 1800's. 
Because of it's young age many of the music pieces written by earlier composers do not contain parts for the saxophone, because it was not an available instrument for which to write parts. 
Saxophone is not a member of an orchestra, but is a member of several other ensemble types. 
Saxophone is a common Jazz instrument.
