Two views of the scene: hierarchy and dependency
There are two basic ways to view your scene in Maya:
As a hierarchical list of nodes. This shows which nodes are parents and children of other nodes.
See

.
As a graph of connections between nodes. This shows which nodes provide input or output to other nodes.
