# Why we use tree topology?

Why we use [tree topology](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/97720/what-is-tree-topology)?

## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

**Tree topologies are commonly used** in corporate networks to organise data in databases and workstations. Any two linked nodes in a tree topology can only have one mutual connection, so there can only be one link between them.

- By connecting several components to the centre node, a tree topology combines several star topologies.
- Experts define tree topology as a combination of bus and star topologies in which all nodes are connected via a single central node.
- In this architecture, each node is connected one to one in a hierarchy level, with each neighbouring node on a lower level. Each secondary node has a direct link to the parent node, and all secondary nodes under its jurisdiction have direct links to the tertiary nodes. When viewed visually, these systems resemble a tree structure.
