Abstract
We show that a superfield can be interpreted as a spinor belonging to the spin representation of a Clifford algebra. A subset of this algebra is connected by a linear automorphism to the orthogonal group. With this interpretation it should be possible to give a physical meaning to Grassmann variables.
