What is the difference between ingroup and outgroup in biology?

In cladistics or phylogenetics, an outgroup is a group of organisms that serve as a


reference group when determining the evolutionary relationship among three or more
monophyletic groups of organisms. ... An outgroup may be a sister group to
the ingroup or may be more distantly related.
