Carving into a tree trunk can potentially harm or even kill the tree, depending on the depth and extent of the carving. Trees have a protective layer called bark, which is essential for transporting nutrients and water. If the carving damages the cambium layer beneath the bark, it can disrupt these vital functions, leading to disease or death over time. However, superficial carvings may not have significant long-term effects on the tree's health.
Any "attack" on a tree is harmful, much like cutting your arm with a knife. It won't kill you but it will hurt, but eventually it will heal - much like a tree. Cutting any part of the bark removes the ability of a tree to "pump" water from it's roots to the furthest leaves, so any incision will affect a trees growth.
You can kill a full grown cedar tree by "ringing" the tree or by cutting out a ring of bark that goes all the way around the trunk. You can also kill the tree by cutting it down or uprooting the tree.
Yes, shooting a tree can potentially kill it by causing damage to the trunk or branches, disrupting its ability to transport water and nutrients.

To kill a standing tree, you can cut a ring around its trunk (a process known as girdling) to disrupt the flow of nutrients and water from roots to the rest of the tree. This essentially starves the tree and causes it to eventually die.
drill holes in the base of the tree and pour glyphosate weed killer into the holes, this will be absorbed into the cambiam and kill the tree. For less vigourus trees you could also ring bark the tree by removing a ring of bark at the base of the trunk this will kill the tree
Probably not. Hollies are, in my experience, damnably hard to kill. Zombies of the plant world.
Bark covers a tree trunk.
It would be a log.
The trunk of a tree is called a 'bole'.
