EMBARK, GROOT, NUDIBRANCH, STRUNK

Words related to sailing, a character from Guardians of the Galaxy, a type of marine mollusk, and a reference to the Elements of Style author, which seems unrelated until considering ’embark’ as in to start a journey, and Groot as a tree-like being, with Strunk being an author, and Nudibranchs being marine creatures, but a connection could be ’to start’ or ’begin’ something new, like a journey for a tree-like being or a marine creature, or writing style, however this reasoning is weak and an alternative is that the connection is that the other three groups have strong connections so this group must be the remaining words
