In a tree topology, trunk and branch correspond to which functions?

In a tree topology, traffic flows from a main line out to several distribution points, then out to individual end connections. The trunk functions as the feeder, carrying aggregated signals from the source toward the distribution points. The branch functions as the distribution, extending service from those distribution points to the end-user connections. So the trunk is the feeder and the branch is the distribution. This aligns with how trunk/feeder and branch/distribution roles are defined in hierarchical network layouts.
