tree structure
Nodes and branches
A tree structure is an arrangement of data or information that branches hierarchically from a single root, like an upside-down tree.
Each element connects to subordinates below it: The file system uses a tree structure with folders containing subfolders.
Family trees, organizational charts, and computer directories all follow tree structures.
