offshoots
Spin-off groups emerge
Offshoots are things that branch off from something larger or original.
A plant's offshoot is a shoot growing from the main stem.
Organizations, movements, or ideas produce offshoots—subsidiary groups or derivative developments: The splinter party was an offshoot of the original movement.
Family offshoots are descendants or branches of a lineage.
