underlying site for the office 365 groups is a site collection.

I have observed that the underlying site for the office 365 groups is a site collection.

 

This site collection  does not appear in the list of site collections for Admin - SharePoint.

 

Could you please let me know, if we could 

1) create a subsite instead of a site collection mapped to a group

2) In an example when office 365 group is created for a team and the all the team members levaes the organisation, how the iste(group) will be archived?

 

The communication will no longer exist.

 

thanks

    Yes, it's a site collection, they are hidden in the SPO admin center but you can manage them via PowerShell/CSOM. No, you cannot change it to site.

     

    Group lifefycle management options are coming soon, including "archival" options. In the meantime, you as the admin can monitor/report "empty" groups and take actions as necessary.
