A tree with a distinguished vertex, the root. A rooted tree has a natural orientation in which all paths are directed away from the root: such an oriented tree is an arborescence.
A rooted plane tree is one with a prescribed cyclic order of the edges incident with each vertex.
Rooted trees play a central in Butcher series and the algebraic notion of pre-Lie algebra.
