How I like to visualize it is that its a version of linked list where value of every node depends on its previous nodes, And every node has a copy of it's tree. Hence if one node is changed, all other nodes have to be changed. Value in this context is the payload+metadata.

A better but still very simple explanation can be seen at youtube.com/watch?v=SSo_EIwHSd4 (5 min video)
