ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pseudoforest

Ok kiddo, let me explain what a pseudoforest is. Imagine you have a piece of paper and you draw some trees on it with some connecting lines. This is a forest right?

Now, let's imagine you draw some trees on another piece of paper, but this time you only draw connecting lines between some of the trees, and not all of them. This is called a pseudoforest!

A pseudoforest is like a forest, except that some of the trees are not connected to each other. So you can imagine it's like a group of trees that are friends, but some of the friends don't know each other very well, so they aren't all connected.

Does that make sense?
