Ann, The term breadcrumbs actually harks to the fairytale, you know, Hansel and Gretel. It's just as Aahz writes, a line of text in an inconspicuous place in the page design that tells you which menu/branchmenu/leafmenu item you're currently looking at. The text line is your trail of crumbs back to the front page of your site. Each level in the trail is clickable, so you can jump quickly one or two steps back at a time.
