Sorry, as far as I see your tree has also finite paths. I see paths
from the root to the first nodes below the roots.

That is an edge. But no path does stop there. Every path is continued,
infinitely.

So you do not know what a path is, or a tree apparently.
In a tree, there exists exactly one path between any two nodes.

There are those for whom what connects *adjacent* nodes is called an
edge, and others call it a branch.

Most of those whom I am aware, other than possibly WM, reserve "path"
for the chain of connections starting at the root node and ending, if at
all, in a leaf node.
