Mark Antony famously said, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." My teacher says that this is an example of a synecdoche but I don't understand. Isn't a synecdoche a part that represents a whole? someone please explain?

Explanation:
your teacher told you correct but he has not fully explained it.
Synecdoche is a figure of speech which replaces the part for a whole.
in this drama also friends, Romans and countrymen all these words are used for the people of Rome whether they are known to him or not. he expects all the people to listen his speech carefully.
