When connectivity devices are connected in a daisy-chain fashion what type of backbone do they create?

When connectivity devices are connected in a daisy-chain fashion, they create a linear backbone topology. This configuration allows devices to be connected in sequence, where each device is linked to the next, forming a single path for data transmission. While this setup can be simple and cost-effective, it is vulnerable to failures; if one device or connection fails, it can disrupt the entire network.
