tree diagram

Hierarchical visual structure

A tree diagram is a branching visual structure that maps relationships or possibilities.

In linguistics, it shows how sentences break into constituent parts.

In probability and decision-making, it displays all possible outcomes branching from each choice point: The tree diagram showed every possible result of flipping three coins.

The name comes from its resemblance to a tree's branching limbs.
