Your ancestry. Those you have descended from are your ancestors. My lineage includes my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., in my past, and my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. in my future.
The term meaning "a group of lineages" is a clan. A lineage is a group of families descended form a common ancestor.
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.
What does Hadero mean when she uses the term, "sonic lineages". What does she describe as her own sonic lineages?
Evolution is a process of continuous divergence. A lineage splits, producing two or more diverging descendant lineages. Each of these lineages may then produce more diverging lineages, like branches stemming from a trunk. As such, a tree structure nicely represents the plot of diverging lineages and their ancestors. Hence, the so-called "tree of life".

This sounds like adaptive radiation.
similar structures arising independently in different lineages, convergent evolution among different lineages, and adaptation by different lineages to the same selective pressures

The traits are also found in many intervening lineages on the tree of life
