Splitting from the budding microdendrons, the protodendron has doubled in size. This species still forms large clusters and releases its offspring in a way similar to how other flora release spores. The new individuals float about along water currents for 1–2 weeks, after which they sink to the bottom and attach to a hard surface, hopefully close to surface so that they may photosynthesize. They rapidly approach adult size and can then reproduce soon after.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
