PERMANOVA

Permanova is a type of test that helps you figure out how different things are from each other. It looks at different things you want to compare, like plants or animals, and tries to figure out if they are different in any way. It does this by looking at things like how far apart they are from each other, or how much they weigh, or what color they are. The test then gives you an answer to tell you if the things you are comparing are really different from each other or not.
