Many computer components, algorithms, and design choices have been inspired by natural systems. File oragnizations and index listings--to name only a few--are structured in tree form.
In their simplest form, a tree-like data structure contains a single root node with children, who themselves can have children. Tree nodes are connected hierarchically (with a top and a bottom) and contain NO cycles. No children are linked to their parents as their own kids! Yikes!
