The quick answer is "no, not really". But, this seems like a good opportunity to talk about GO terms, as they are often poorly understood. https://twitter.com/chrmosimann/status/1357847985229467648

The Gene Ontology is a controlled way of describing the function of genes and has three parts, Biological Process (BP), Molecular Function (MF) and Cellular Component (CC). Each of these is a hierarchical data structure (technically a directed acyclic graph (DAG)).

Within each part of the gene ontology, all terms except the root have less specific parents and all terms except the terminal leaves have more specific children. "Biological Process" is the root and therefore least specific term in the BP part of the gene ontology.

(As aside, DAGs don't have roots and leaves, they have "sources" and "sinks", but I have stuck with terminology that I think will be more widely understood)

In most organisms, the convention is that genes are explicitly annotated with only the most specific applicable GO terms, however annotation with less specific parents of the explicit terms can be inferred.

The term "Biological Process" could thus be applied to any gene annotated with a term in the BP part of the gene ontology and so is not useful in its own right. However, structuring the ontology as whole as a DAG is useful for traversing the structure and DAGs must have roots.

One use for the DAG is in GO enrichment analysis. Some tools assess each GO term independently, but others take the structure of the ontology into account. An advantage of this is that multiple genes annotated with different terms can result in a significant shared parent term.

GO terms and enrichment analysis can be useful, but often have severe limitations imposed by the annotation quality of the genome you are working with. As of 2019, almost 1/5 of genes in the human genome had no known function and thus no GO terms.

For non-model organisms this frequently rises to 50% or more. GO term annotation is also biased towards well-studied and conserved functions where transitive annotation is relatively easy, which in turn biases the output of enrichment analysis.

Enrichment analysis with GO terms can sometimes be useful, but primarily as a sanity check (e.g., that gene cluster I think is involved in gametocytogenesis is enriched for GO terms related to meiosis) or a broad hint as to functionality. Just as often, it's not useful.

To summarise, the term "Biological Process" isn't really helpful as a term in it's own right, but is a useful part of the data structure. Enrichment analysis using GO terms can sometimes be helpful, but the limitations must be clearly understood.
