\details{
The minimum information necessary to create a phylobase tree object is a valid edge matrix. The edge matrix describes the topology of the phylogeny. Each row describes a branch of the phylogeny, with the (descendant) node number in column 2 and it's ancestor's node number in column 1. These numbers are used internally and must be unique for each node.
The labels designate either nodes or edges. The vector \code{node.label} names internal nodes, and together with \code{tip.label}, name all nodes in the tree. The vector \code{edge.label} names all branches in the tree. All label vectors are optional, and if they are not given, internally-generated labels will be assigned. The labels, whether user-specified or internally generated, must be unique as they are used to join species data with phylogenetic trees.
- The \code{root.edge} is optional and generally not used, but provided for consistency in format (providing slots for each node in the phylogeny).
