What is the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

This tree is from The Bible in Genesis and this tree was in the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve lived. God told them that if they ate the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they will surely die. Since they ate the fruit from that tree, they knew what was good and bad and disobeyed God.

In my opinion and reading in the Bible The tree of the Knowlegde of good and evil represented an individual a person someone that was alive i will try to explain for example take the Word knowledge it is something that you gain through understanding observing experiencing studying it is acheived by someone who is alive and has a mind' a tree does not have a mind and cannot comunicate so there for how could a tree gain knowledge (also this tree was not from The Almighty Creator because God is not evil;evil came from that devil satan) there are scriptures in the bible that explain God is a knowledgeable God. humans can attain knowledge animals do to in there unigue way all are living beings and creatures capable and able to communicate with one another.So the tree in the garden represented some family type unit or a group of beings meaning angel like creatures that had a plan and were knowledgeable. Remember Eve it doesnt seem like eve was shocked talking to a serpent or snake because it wasnt an animal.
