Tree Structure

A tree structure is a hierarchically ordered, multi-level system (see also holarchy) that can be represented by an inverted tree. Each node in the tree structure branches off to sub-nodes (see also holon) that branch off to other sub-nodes, and so on. The tree has the ability to grow and expand, and is therefore a dynamic, flexible, and open-ended system. Examples are: governmental departments, genetic classifications, physiological charts, and circulation of blood.
