A phylogenetic tree assists in studying the evolution of mussels primarily by **illustrating the evolutionary relationships and ancestry of mussel species**. This tool allows researchers to visualize how different species or populations are related to one another based on shared characteristics and genetic information, thereby providing insights into their evolutionary history and lineage.
