A tree is a data structure that resembles a hierarchical tree structure. Each and every element in the structure is a node. Each and every node is linked with the next node, either to its left or to its right. Each and every node consists of zero or more child nodes. The length of longest downward path to a leaf from that node is termed as the height of the node and the length of the path to its root is termed as the depth of node.

Its general uses are as follows:

a) To manipulate the hierarchical data

b) Makes the information search, termed tree traversal, simpler.

c) To manipulate data this is in the form of sorted list.
