What's a spider diagram template?
A spider diagram template, also known as a spidergram or a mind map, is a visual tool used to represent ideas, tasks, or other elements linked to and arranged around a central concept or theme. The main idea sits at the center of the diagram, with 'legs' branching out to display related topics or subtopics. This design allows users to understand the relationships between different points and how they all tie back to the central theme.
