About the Tree Diagram
A tree diagram uses a branching structure to show hierarchical relationships. Each node represents an entity, and edges (lines) connect parents to children. The root is at the top (or left), with branches expanding downward (or rightward).
Tree diagrams are ideal for organizational charts, decision trees, file system structures, and family trees. They become unwieldy with very large or deep hierarchies.
