A matrix site structure, also known as a network structure, offers users multiple pathways to navigate content. Think of Wikipedia, where each article is interlinked with various others through hyperlinks, allowing readers to jump from one topic to another related one without following a set path.

Unlike hierarchical or sequential structures that guide users in specific directions, a matrix structure allows more freedom to explore. It's a bit like wandering through a labyrinth where many paths lead to the destination. This non-linear approach can create a more interactive and exploratory experience but may require careful design to prevent users from becoming lost or overwhelmed.
