A '''tree structure''', '''tree diagram''', or '''tree model''' is a way of representing the [[hierarchy|hierarchical]] nature of a [[structure]] in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic [[#Representing trees|representation]] resembles a [[tree]], although the chart is generally upside down compared to a biological tree, with the "stem" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.
