Yes it does, but some oak trees do not.
the rings on the top section of a tree trunk tell the age of the tree
witch oak tree? pick one and count the rings.

An oak tree can sprout from the trunk of another tree through a process called "epiphytism," where a seed lands on the trunk of a host tree, germinates, and grows roots into the host tree's bark to access nutrients and water. Over time, the oak tree can establish itself and grow independently.
The rings in a tree trunk are referred to as secondary growth. This is when the tree grows outward, rather than upward. The rings form once a year.
the tree's age
You need to measure the circumference of the trunk 1.5m high off the ground. Measure it in cm and then divide by 2.5. For example, my oak tree has a circumference of 616cm. So, 616/2.5 = just over 246 years!
An oak tree may develop a split trunk due to various factors such as strong winds, heavy snow loads, lightning strikes, or diseases that weaken the tree's structure. These stressors can cause the wood to crack and split, leading to a split trunk in the oak tree.
The age of the tree
By counting the number of rings in a tree trunk, you can estimate its age. Each ring typically represents one year of growth, with the outer rings being the most recent. Counting the rings from the center of the trunk outwards gives a rough estimate of the tree's age.
No. The trunk is the oldest part . Counting the rings of the trunk is how you tell the trrees' age.
Tree rings or annual rings tell how old the tree is.
