A recursive relationship is a relationship that takes place between a body and itself.
There are 3 types of recursive relationships mainly 'one to many' recursive relationship, second a 'one to one' relationship and third 'many to many' relationship.
The first recursive relationship happens when an individual is the manager of other employees. The individual employee is related to himself and the usual relationship that happens one on one in an office.
The second recursive type is where there is relation shared between one individual of the past who is totally not related to the present. It could be two different occurring things.
The third relationship, which is many to many relationships, is when one object or article is made up of many items of the same data type as itself.
