In ANSI SQL, we can use the concatenation operator ||:
SELECT "Group" || '_' || Family AS Taxa
FROM yourTable;
This would vary depending on the database. For instance, SQL Server uses + as the concatenation operator. Some databases have formal concatenation functions.
By the way, you should avoid naming your columns using SQL keywords like Group.
