A Dendrogram is a variation of a Tree Diagram that illustrates the arrangement of clusters formed by hierarchical clustering. This is done to help visualise and classify the taxonomic relationships between entities related in a group. Dendrograms are made up of branches, known as clades. These branches split into smaller branches, each ending in a point called a leaf.
