Lookup time for an element in a link list is equal to number of elements in list. Hence linear, like a linear equation: t = n. Compare that to lookup in a tree which is logarithmic: t = log2 n.
A non-linear data structure is one in which the elements are not arranged or linked in a linear fashion. Trees, graphs, etc. are non-linear data structure since the elements are arranged in a branching manner.
when elements are accesed or placed in contiguous memory location yhen data structure is known as linear data structure. stacks, arrays, queues and linklists are example of data structure. in non-linear data structure element are not placed in sequential manner. trees, graph are the ex. of non-linear data structure.
A list is an abstract data structure, usually defined as an ordered collection of data. A linked list refers to a specific implementation of a list in which each element in the list is connected (linked) to the next element.
Linked organization in data structure is the organization of data records that are linked together by references. These links are also known as connectors.
A data structure is linear if every item is related (or attatched) to its previous and next item(e.g.array, linked list) and it is non-linear if every item is attached to many other items in specific ways to reflect relationships(e.g, n-ary tree). In linear data structure data items are arranged in a linear sequence. In non-linear data structure data items are not in a sequence. A different Opinion (learnt while watching a video on Data Structures) is that Linear data structures are the Data structures implemented using arrays (with consecutive data allocation for each member of the array) while Non Linear Data Structure refers to an implementation in terms of use of pointers (such as a linked list). --Research Reqd.--

Data structures are classified as either linear or non linear, a data structure is said to be linear if its elements form a sequence, or, in other words, a linear list, there are two basic ways of representing such linear structures in memory, one way is to have the linear relationship between the elements represented by means of sequential memory locations, these linear structures are called arrays, the other way is to have the linear relationship between the elements represented by means of pointers or links, these linear structures are called linked lists.
A tree is an example for a non-linear data structure.

yes
yes it is, other linear data structures are lists,queues,stacks,arrays
A record is a compound data structure composed of heterogeneous fields. The memory layout of an individual record is linear insofar as the fields are allocated contiguously, however a group of records is not necessarily linear. It all depends upon how the records are linked together and that's ultimately defined by the data container. Generally speaking, arrays and lists are linear data structures while graphs and networks are non-linear.
One dimensional data storage is when you store a series of data in a linear way. An example of this would be an array, which stores data in a series, and access that data by indexing it. A linked list is another example of a data structure that behaves one dimensionaly.
