Trees are perennial plants crucial to Earth's ecosystem, featuring parts like roots, trunks, and leaves, with various types including deciduous and evergreen. In computer science, a tree is a hierarchical data structure made up of nodes, with common types such as binary trees and binary search trees. Both biological and computational trees serve important functions, from oxygen production and habitat support to organizing data relationships.

🌳 Trees in Biology

A tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem or trunk, supporting branches and leaves. Trees are
an essential part of Earth's ecosystem.

Key Features:

 Parts: Roots, trunk, branches, leaves, flowers/fruit.


 Lifespan: Some trees can live for hundreds or even thousands of years (e.g., Bristlecone pine).
 Uses: Oxygen production (photosynthesis), wood, food (fruits, nuts), shade, erosion control,
habitat for wildlife.
 Types:
o Deciduous trees: Shed their leaves annually (e.g., oak, maple).
o Evergreen trees: Retain leaves year-round (e.g., pine, spruce).

Interesting Fact:

 The largest tree by volume is the General Sherman (a giant sequoia) in California, USA.

🌲 Tree in Computer Science (Data Structure)

A tree is a hierarchical data structure used to represent relationships like a family tree, folder system, or
organizational chart.

Key Concepts:

 Node: Each element in the tree.


 Root: Topmost node.
 Leaf: Node with no children.
 Edge: Connection between nodes.
 Parent/Child: A node that has sub-nodes is a parent; the connected ones are children.
 Subtree: A tree entirely contained within another tree.

Common Types:

 Binary Tree: Each node has at most two children.


 Binary Search Tree (BST): Left child < parent < right child.
 AVL Tree / Red-Black Tree: Self-balancing BSTs.
 Trie: Used for word dictionaries.
 Heap: Specialized tree used in priority queues.
