I typically use the word "tree" in our documentation. I have used 
"directory tree" for an Explorer type of directory structure. We also 
use this same structure for a program that is used to write 
datalogger code for sensors. The list of sensors appears in the tree 
structure on the left side of the window. I explain what it is and refer 
to it as the "sensors tree".
