A decision tree is a flowchart-like structure used in both decision analysis and machine learning, where internal nodes represent tests on attributes, branches represent outcomes, and leaves represent final decisions or predictions. In business, they help map out choices and their consequences, such as in risk analysis or project planning. In data science, they form the basis of predictive models and are often combined into ensembles like random forests to improve accuracy.
