Root Explanation

**Supersystem** → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "system" (from Greek "systēma", meaning a whole made up of parts). The word "supersystem" refers to a system that encompasses or is above other systems, indicating a higher level of organization or complexity.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'above' ('super-') a collection of parts or elements ('system'). This helps you remember that a supersystem is a larger system that includes or transcends smaller systems.
