Light from the sun, or other light source, reflects from the tree into your eye. Structures in your eye focus the light onto your retina, which sends nerve signals to your brain. Your brain processes those signals and you "see" the tree.

Why a shadow forms behind a tree?

Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.
