A large group of computer networks does not have a specific name, but some refer to it as a grid. The largest is the Metropolitan area network.
Computer network : A collection of computing devices that are connected in various ways in order to communicate and share resource. Usually, the connections between computers in a network are made using physical wires or cables.
This is usually used to describe the Internet. A few computers connected together is a computer network. A few computer networks connected together is a network of networks.
The Internet is commonly referred to as the "network of networks." This description highlights its fundamental structure: a vast, global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It's a network made up of many smaller networks, including private, public, academic, business, and government networks, allowing data and information to be shared across diverse platforms.

Computer network.
A computer network refers to a system of interconnected computers and devices that can communicate and share resources with each other. These networks can vary in size and complexity, ranging from small local area networks (LANs) within a single building to vast wide area networks (WANs) that span cities or countries. Networks facilitate data exchange, resource sharing, and collaboration among users and systems. Common examples include the Internet, corporate intranets, and home networks.
