subgroups
Parts within wholes
Subgroups are smaller groups within a larger group, distinguished by shared characteristics or functions.
A study might divide participants into subgroups by age or income.
In mathematics, a subgroup is a subset of a group that itself satisfies the conditions for being a group.
The committee broke into subgroups to tackle different aspects of the project.
