Of or relating to a classification system for organisms having a two-pronged or bifid structure.
From Greek 'dikran' (two-pronged fork) + '-terian' (relating to structure or classification). A rare term from older biological nomenclature systems.
This is a really archaic word that fell out of use because scientists found better ways to classify organisms using DNA—it's like finding your grandmother's old filing system!
