What does a branch point in a cladogram represent?
The branch point in a cladogram represents a specific ancestor that is separated into two or more species. For example a leopard and a house cat share a common ancestor. A similar example is that a wolf shares a common ancestor with the leopard's and house cat's ancestor but the wolf's ancestor lived longer than the leopard's and house cat's ancestor. Scientists use something called cladistics to determine the one common ancestor that multiple species have in common.

What is the original ancestor that the plant-animal descended from?
Plants and animals share a common ancestor that was likely a unicellular, photosynthetic organism similar to modern-day green algae.

Through a process called endosymbiosis, some of these organisms developed the ability to perform photosynthesis, leading to the evolution of plants, while others evolved into various animal forms. Thus, the divergence between plants and animals began from this ancient common ancestor.
