I think this question is incorrect, and should be What can be determined by the number of rings of a trees trunk; the answer of which is the age. Light and dark bands formed in the trunk equate to the summer and winter growth patterns of the tree. Count the dark (or light) rings and you can tell the age of the tree in years.

Do blackberry bushes have annual rings?
Blackberries produce canes from the roots each year which only live for two years-- the first year cane, called a primocane, usually doesn't produce fruit. If it survives to the 2nd year, it's called a floricane and produces fruit and then dies, so if there are annual rings, there are only 2 of them.

How will you determine the age of the goldfish?
Experience is just about the only way most people can judge the age of a goldfish. It is possible to tell if you are prepared to risk damaging the fish and can get a scale. Then using a microscope you can count the rings on it as you would the rings on/in a tree. This will give you growth spurts and seasons.
What is the function of the annual rings?
To age the tree the amount of annual rings you have indicates the number of years the tree has been around Each year of a trees growth, the tree experiences more or less rain according to season, at least in the temperate zones of the earth. The cell structure is more or less dense accordingly. This gives the appearnce of rings. In areas of constant drought like desserts, or constant rain, like rain forests this does not happen. The process of recording the annular rings in the trees of a specific area is called dendrochronology. Of course if an englishman were to count the rings in his teak wood desk it would only tell him about the rain patterns in some far off unknown jungle. This method works fine for trees grown in Northern Europe, North America, etc
How do you know the age of the dolphin?

Do all trees have rings?
Under the bark of a tree is a layer called the cambium, which is the only living part of the trunk. This layer grows, adding new wood to the tree. A different kind of wood grows during the summer than in the fall. In the summer, the wood grows fast. It tends to be soft and light in color. In the fall, a denser kind of wood grows. This wood is more watertight and prevents the tree from drying out in the winter. So in many kinds of trees, especially in areas that have harsh winters, each year can be counted with a light area and dark area that go all the way around the tree, forming a ring.
How can you identify the age of a tree once its cut down?
When a tree is cut down, if you cut the tree horizontally, than you will be able to see the growth rings. Every growth ring relates to one year of life for the tree. From the growth rings, you can also determine what kind of weather and conditions the tree had undergone. When the growth rings are very thin, than there were times of little to no rain (drought). When the rings are thick, then there was a good rain-season and the tree was able to grow a lot. Not only that, but when the rings are not round, but rather crooked, than that means that the tree suffered some kind of damage. It could be poisoning, it could've been hit with something, or maybe the tree was poisoned. There's a lot you can tell about a trees life from looking at the growth rings!
