Treenida

Treenida is a term used in several unrelated contexts to denote concepts associated with trees or forest life. There is no single, widely accepted definition in mainstream science, and the term is not recognized as an official taxon by major biological classifications.

In speculative fiction and worldbuilding, treenida is frequently employed as a fictional taxon or model of forest ecosystems. In such works it may refer to a lineage of arboreal organisms, a symbiotic network connecting trees, fungi, and other forest inhabitants, or a sentient forest intelligence. The variable usage reflects its role as a thought experiment about connectivity, resilience, and ecology rather than a scientifically defined group.

In linguistic or nomenclatural contexts, treenida can function as a coined proper noun for places, groups, or concepts, without implying any scientific status.

Etymology: The term appears to be a neologism combining a root related to trees with a common taxonomic suffix, but there is no standardized etymology.

Taxonomic status and references: No official taxonomic description exists in established authorities. People encountering the term should refer to the specific source for the intended meaning. See also forest ecology, mycorrhizal networks, plant–microbe interactions.
