The saying "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" means that the value, effectiveness, or power of a whole system, entity, or group is significantly more than what you'd expect by simply adding up the values of its individual parts. In essence, the interaction and combination of parts produce a result that is greater than the sum of their individual contributions.
