tree structures

A tree structure is a way of organizing data that resembles a family tree or a branching system. It starts from a single point called the root, which connects to other points called nodes. Each node can have its own connected nodes, known as children, creating branches. This setup allows for efficient data retrieval, organization, and hierarchy, making it easier to access information quickly based on relationships. Trees are widely used in computer science for tasks like sorting, searching, and managing complex data structures efficiently.
