Is an artificial tree', for example, an actual tree'?

If yes, the HOW, EXACTLY?

But if no, then HOW, EXACTLY, could a so-called 'perfect tree' be bred, 'artificially'?

Also, what is 'a human', EXACTLY, and, HOW does 'it' supposedly DIFFER from a so-called 'perfect human', EXACTLY?

[Agent Smith]

"Ah Mrs. Worthington, good morning. Taking Mr. Min out for a walk?" Jack said, cheerfully. Mrs. Worthington, a bit confused, "Good morning Jack, yes, but the name's Ms. Jenny." It was Jack's turn to get confused. "This is the male leopard and his name is Mr. Min, no?" Mrs. Worthington was baffled by this, "Good heavens Jack, no, Ms. Jenny's a female French poodle!!" Jack stood there, carefully looking at the animal and calmy corrected Mrs. Worthington, "No, it's a male leopard and his name is Mr. Min." Mrs. Worthington was speechless. Jack was adamant, "Mrs. Worthington, no need to be alarmed, the leopard isn't dangerous. A quick question. Did Mr. Min sleep longer than usual?" "Why, yes! Ms. Jenny was still asleep when I woke up, 6:00 AM, I always get up at that time. Since I've had her, 2 years now, she's always been up before me," Mrs. Worthington replied. "Mr. Min Mrs. Worthington and he's a leopard," Jack reminded Mrs. Worthington.
