The root node is the base node and it cannot have any parent nodes. All other nodes, in a Scene Graph, have a single parent and zero or more children nodes. The benefit of using the Scene Graph is that each node can also have effects, such as blurs and shadows, varying opacity, transforms, event handlers, and application-specific states. The JavaFX Scene API Nodes where API stands for application programming interface, includes many features.
