Metaphorical tree of knowledge

The metaphorical tree of knowledge is a concept that represents the structure and organization of knowledge in a hierarchical manner, similar to how a tree is structured. The tree has its roots in the foundational knowledge, which forms the base of the tree. As you move up the tree, the branches represent different branches of knowledge, each growing from the foundational knowledge. The trunk of the tree represents the core disciplines or subjects, such as philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture.
