The diagram above informs us that an ExtremeCycle101 I
an assembly (it has component parts) that is constructed
from those types of parts shown at the second level
(HandleBarX, FrameX, SeatB919, Wheel111, ).
HandleBarX is a part, it is not an assembly. Note that
FrameX is another assembly made from a specific frame
and pedals. The type of diagram shown above is called a
parts explosion; it can show in great detail the various part
that are required to build the part shown at the top, at the
root. In some enterprise, a parts explosion could detail
hundreds or thousands of parts. Another common way to
illustrate this information is in a table such as:
