Basically in over simplified terms it is the sum of two previous transactions that can only be arrived at if the numbers add up. 👍
In cryptography and computer science, a hash tree or Merkle tree is a tree in which every leaf node is labelled with the hash of a data block, and every non-leaf node is labelled with the cryptographic hash of the labels of its child nodes.
