    Or maybe they did that because a tree sprouts out of the root! 😛

    This reminds of how I tried to explain tree structures to my non-techie friends haha "It's called tree structure because it looks like a tree, except it grows downward and sometimes it doesn't look like a tree..." 😂

    Well... Draw a tree from the dirt up AND down and you'll see it looks almost exactly the same both ways. Just look at the Irish Tree of Life! Hehe
