A quick google turned up:
http://www.support.psi.com/support/common/inet-serv/dns/hierarc.html
"The Domain Name System is a distributed hierarchical system for
resolving host names into IP addresses. The DNS has a root domain at the
top of the hierarchy and directly under are the top-level domains. The
root of the tree has no name. All siblings of a domain must have unique
names. Children of a domain are called subdomains of the parent."

On another note, I know you (Michael) are interested in genealogy. How
do you get the root of a family tree?
best,
