The hydrodynamic study of active droplet (adhesive glue) placed on water surface then some part of the material of droplet spread and diffuse on the liquid surface. Further, thin layer of droplet material start agglomeration, initially it forms the fibers structure which further initiated the branches and looks as the evolution of tree. This process is repeated and can be controlled by the changing of the parameters such as diameter of initial droplets/concentration. This active system provides the beautiful structure with time during spreading and diffusion in liquids which can helps to understand complex fluid dynamic phenomena.
