Hint for students
The main sense is a woody plant with a trunk; a branching diagram can also be called a tree.
Common mix-up
Tree is a type of plant, so plant is broader rather than an exact synonym. A stump and a seed are stages or related objects, not antonyms.
Try it in class or at home
Make a two-column sketch: label the parts of a living tree, then create a small branching classification tree. Explain what structural pattern the two share.
Teacher prompt
Compare a maple tree with a family tree. Ask students to identify the trunk-and-branch pattern that allows the word to name both.
