Why are prokaryotes not monophyletic?

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.

How does evolution lead to the tree of life?

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".
