Hierarchy
The Hierarchy (see Figure 1.15) is a textual list of all the GameObjects in the current Scene. As you add elements to your game, including any GameObjects added programmatically, this list will grow. The Hierarchy is also a great tool for parenting GameObjects. Parenting is a linked-style method of transforming GameObjects. An example would be a train and its caboose. When you move the train, the caboose follows. The train would be the “parent” of the caboose.
