"A rooted phylogenetic tree groups multiple plant species by branching relationships. Species names appear at the tips, while internal nodes contain numbered circles. Branches are annotated with nucleotide states A, C, G, and T, marking sequence changes along different lineages. The tree divides into two major branches near the root and then into progressively smaller species groups"
