Dinosaurs were divided into two big groups: ornistichia (bird hip) and saurischia (lizard hip). The confussing part is that scientists believe that birds evolved from a group of therapods similar to small velociraptors and therapods are saurischia.

Polyphyletic and paraphyletic taxa are problematic when the goal is to construct phylogenies that accurately reflect evolutionary history. These taxa do not accurately represent the evolutionary relationships between species and can lead to incorrect interpretations. Monophyletic taxa, on the other hand, are ideal for constructing phylogenies as they include all descendants of a common ancestor.
