Trees don't have all the fun: humans have growth rings as well. Blaschko's lines are actual lines on the body that have varying degrees of visibility on people; they don't correspond to actual body morphology, but may outline regions of cell growth at the embryonic level, identifying portions of specialization at some early point in development. Skin diseases or chimeras may result in more visible lines, but we all have them in a small way.
