Trees and other plants "breath out" oxygen as a by-product of Photosynthesis - This is how plant use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide "breathed in" from the atmosphere, plus taken up by the tree's roots, into sugars and starches which they stores and use for energy to power all their life processes.

Like you and me, trees also "breath in" a little oxygen and "breath out" a little Carbon dioxide when it is dark, as part of "respiration" which is how sugars are burnt in our bodies to produce energy for our life processes.

So yes - trees do absorb oxygen, but much, much less than they give out for us to breathe in.
