Supergroups are named based on their unique characteristics, which often include distinctive traits of their members, shared evolutionary history, or specific ecological roles. These groups may encompass various taxa that display similar features or adaptations, allowing scientists to categorize them effectively. The naming conventions often reflect the group's evolutionary relationships or functional significance within ecosystems.
Supergroups are a level above kingdom in terms of taxonomic classification. Plants, animals and fungi are all kingdoms in taxonomy.
Scientists know that the supergroups do not share a single common ancestor but do not know where in time they branch off from each other:)
