Answer:

Node, Clade, Taxa

Step-by-step explanation:

Node is a point in a cladogram where a single ancestral lineage breaks into two or more descendant lineages. A node usually has similar characteristics due to the common ancestral lineage.

Clade is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants. An example is birds, dinosaurs and crocodiles all belonging to a common ancestor as animals but different descendants.

A taxa is any named group of organism's, whether they form a clade or not. It represent any level of taxonomic groupings.
