Tree structure

tree

a tree is a widely used data structure that simulates a hierarchical tree structure with a set of linked nodes. Tree is a subset of graph

node

A node is a structure which may contain a value or condition, or represent a separate data structure.

top node

The node at the top of the tree

parent node

A node that has a child is called the child's parent node

child node

A child node is the node below child's parent node

height

The height of a node is the length of the longest downward path to a leaf from that node.

depth

The depth of a node is the length of the edge to its root.

edge
An edge represents a connection between nodes.

Difference between height and depth

The depth of a node is the number of edges( the line that is connecting the nodes )  from the node to the tree's root, and the height of a node is the number of nodes on the longest path from the node to a leaf.
