What is base-devel? is it a package, or?

I knew that
base-devel is a collection of packages essential for basic development.

However, i cannot use

pacman -Ss

to see it.

How to fulfill something like this? Can someone give hints on how this kind of collection works?

Thanks

Try this:

pacman -Sg base-devel

It's a package group - check man pacman for group handling. You're looking for the -g flag.
