groupadd command not found on Mac Monterey ver 12.1

Question

I am running macOS Monterey version 12.1

uname -a gives: 21.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 21.2.0: Sun Nov 28 20:28:41 PST 2021; root:xnu-8019.61.5~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T6000 arm64

groupadd command is not found.

It is not preset in /usr/sbin folder , inspected it as root.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
