A '''tree structure''' is a way of representing the [[hierarchy|hierarchical]] nature of a [[structure]] in a graphical form. It is named a 'tree structure', because the graph looks a bit like a [[tree]], even though the tree is generally shown upside down compared with a real tree, that is to say with the root at the top and the leaves at the bottom.
 
In terms of [[graph]] theory, a tree can be described as a "connected directed acyclic graph". A collection of unconnected tree structures is sometimes described by graph theorists as a "forest".
