Green Algae

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a big family gathering where you're trying to keep track of all your distant relatives and how they're related to you. Just like sorting through a large family tree, the classification of green algae involves organizing a large group of protists, which are diverse and sometimes difficult to categorize. In this analogy, each relative is like an individual species of algae, grouped into branches of a family tree, similar to how protists are grouped in a classification system, helping us understand their relationships and similarities.
