ANS:
Will vary, but should include: On rooted trees, the common lineage from which all species depicted on the tree are derived is indicated at the base of the tree; direction in a rooted tree indicates the passage of time. Un-rooted trees do not fully indicate the direction of time, and although branch tips indicate more recent species or populations, given interior nodes, one cannot say that one node represents a more recent population than another.
