nodes
Where branches emerge
Nodes are points of connection or intersection within a network or structure.
In anatomy, lymph nodes filter fluid throughout the body.
In computing and telecommunications, a node is any device connected to a network: The server went down and took three nodes with it.
In botany, a node is the point on a stem where leaves or branches emerge.
More abstractly, nodes are key points in any system where elements converge or diverge.
