This could be a double definition.

'relatively speaking' is the first definition.

'it may have many branches' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

(Other definitions for family tree that I've seen before include "Personal history" , "Genealogical chart" , "Chart of relations" .)
