In English, you have to respect the gender of the subject to classify it as "he" or "she". If it's female, it's "she", and if it's male, you use "he". If it is an "ungendered" object, you use "it". So, if you want to refer to any "object" (thing, plant, material, subject, etc.) you always use "it". When talking about animals, you use "it" as well, except if you know the gender and it has been stated in some point of the text, or if the animal word is referring to a specific gender, for example: "cow" (female), "rooster" (male).
