A family classification in biology that may include water-dwelling organisms related to tardigrades or similar microinvertebrates.
From Ephydra plus the Latin family suffix '-idae,' which is the standard scientific naming convention for biological families.
In scientific taxonomy, all family names end in '-idae'—it's like a universal badge that says 'we're relatives'—so you can immediately know any '-idae' word is a biological family.
