- For a graph having n number of nodes, the tree of the given graph
will have n − 1 branches.
- There exists one and only one path between any pair of nodes.
- A tree should not have any closed path.
- The rank of a tree is (n − 1). This is also the rank of the graph to
which the tree belongs.
Twigs:
- The branches of a tree are known as twigs,
