The image displays a linguistic tree diagram that breaks down the syllable structure of the word 'Skips'. The diagram is arranged hierarchically from top to bottom using black text and lines on a white background.

At the very top center, the word "'Skips'" appears in single quotes. Directly below this title is a vertical line connecting to the Greek letter sigma (σ), which represents the syllable node.

From the sigma symbol, two diagonal lines branch out downwards:
- The left branch leads to the bold heading "Onset".
- The right branch leads to the bold heading "Rime".

Underneath the "Onset" heading, a branching structure connects to two letters at the bottom level: 's' on the left and 'k' on the right. This indicates that these consonants form the onset of the syllable.

Underneath the "Rime" heading, the diagram splits into two further sub-categories:
- To the left is the bold heading "Nucleus". A single vertical line extends down from this word to the letter 'I', representing the vowel sound.
- To the right is the bold heading "Coda". From here, a branching structure connects to two letters at the bottom level: 'p' on the left and 's' on the right. This indicates that these consonants form the coda of the syllable.

In summary, the diagram parses the word "Skips" into an onset (sk), a nucleus (i), and a coda (ps).
