Could someone, whenever it's possible, post a minimal tikZ example to draw this? I also would like to put an "R" inside the upper box. This is mi code so far (I know, it's a mess):

Are you a kind of wizard with TeX? I must admit that I'm impressed. I read up on tikZ but it is still hard for me. So, thank you for giving me a hand with this rather tough Tex world!

@naveganteX I'm not yet a "wizard" with either TikZ or LaTeX. I'm a complete novice in TeX :D There are so many TeXperts out there, but I am not one of them, of course. I don't even know anything about TikZ 3D yet (it is in my ever to-do list)

I happen to think that you're pretty good at both, tikz and Tex. Regarding tikZ 3d, I have been wanting to plot those 3D histograms/bar chart for so long. But at the moment, it is just an illusion!

Here is an overkill solution that defines a new pics
"shape" (see section 18.2 of the 3.1.1 tikz manual),together with some custom pgfkeys for styling it. The end result is that you can produce:
using code:
documentclass[tikz, border=5mm]standalone
usetikzlibrarypositioning
begindocument
pgfkeys/vspecies/.is family, /vspecies,
colour/.initial = black, % rectangle colour
fill/.initial = white, % default fill
top label/.initial = M, % label on right
right label/.initial= N, % label on left
bottom label/.initial=, % label on left
left label/.initial=, % label on left
X/.initial = 5mm, % default width
Y/.initial = 5mm, % default height
shape/.initial = rectangle % default shape
tikzset
pics/vspecies/.style args=#1,#2% node name, pgfkeys key-value pairs
code =
pgfkeys/vspecies, #2
node[pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/shape,
minimum size=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/X,
minimum height=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/Y,
draw=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/colour,
fill=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/fill,
label=east:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/left label,
label=north:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/top label,
label=south:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/bottom label,
label=west:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/right label,
](#1) at (0,0);
begintikzpicture
pic at (0,0) vspecies=A,colour=red,Y=10mm;
pic[below left=10mm of A] vspecies=B,top label=K,colour=blue,Y=20mm;
pic[below right=10mm of A] vspecies=C,fill=blue!10,X=10mm,shape=circle,left label=N,right label=;
draw[->](A.south west)--(B.north east);
draw[->](A.south east)--(C.north west);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
The vspecies
pic command take two arguments: the first is the name of a (normal) tikz node label and the second argunment is a comma separated list of key-value pairs tha specify:
- the
colour
of the rectangle (default black) - the
fill
colour (default white) - the
top label
(default M) - the
left label
(default "") - the
bottom label
(default "") - the
left label
(default N) - the minimum
X
width - the minimum
Y
height - the
shape
(default rectangle)
As I said, this is overkill (and I was bored:)

Are you a kind of wizard with TeX? I must admit that I'm impressed. I read up on tikZ but it is still hard for me. So, thank you for giving me a hand with this rather tough Tex world!

@naveganteX I'm not yet a "wizard" with either TikZ or LaTeX. I'm a complete novice in TeX :D There are so many TeXperts out there, but I am not one of them, of course. I don't even know anything about TikZ 3D yet (it is in my ever to-do list)

I happen to think that you're pretty good at both, tikz and Tex. Regarding tikZ 3d, I have been wanting to plot those 3D histograms/bar chart for so long. But at the moment, it is just an illusion!

Here is an overkill solution that defines a new pics
"shape" (see section 18.2 of the 3.1.1 tikz manual),together with some custom pgfkeys for styling it. The end result is that you can produce:
using code:
documentclass[tikz, border=5mm]standalone
usetikzlibrarypositioning
begindocument
pgfkeys/vspecies/.is family, /vspecies,
colour/.initial = black, % rectangle colour
fill/.initial = white, % default fill
top label/.initial = M, % label on right
right label/.initial= N, % label on left
bottom label/.initial=, % label on left
left label/.initial=, % label on left
X/.initial = 5mm, % default width
Y/.initial = 5mm, % default height
shape/.initial = rectangle % default shape
tikzset
pics/vspecies/.style args=#1,#2% node name, pgfkeys key-value pairs
code =
pgfkeys/vspecies, #2
node[pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/shape,
minimum size=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/X,
minimum height=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/Y,
draw=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/colour,
fill=pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/fill,
label=east:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/left label,
label=north:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/top label,
label=south:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/bottom label,
label=west:pgfkeysvalueof/vspecies/right label,
](#1) at (0,0);
begintikzpicture
pic at (0,0) vspecies=A,colour=red,Y=10mm;
pic[below left=10mm of A] vspecies=B,top label=K,colour=blue,Y=20mm;
pic[below right=10mm of A] vspecies=C,fill=blue!10,X=10mm,shape=circle,left label=N,right label=;
draw[->](A.south west)--(B.north east);
draw[->](A.south east)--(C.north west);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
The vspecies
pic command take two arguments: the first is the name of a (normal) tikz node label and the second argunment is a comma separated list of key-value pairs tha specify:
- the
colour
of the rectangle (default black) - the
fill
colour (default white) - the
top label
(default M) - the
left label
(default "") - the
bottom label
(default "") - the
left label
(default N) - the minimum
X
width - the minimum
Y
height - the
shape
(default rectangle)
As I said, this is overkill (and I was bored:)

You can use
