     We can infer that the class has fields named `type' and
`children', declared in a manner something like

	/* qualifiers */ Type type;
	/* qualifiers */ Node[] children;

... where /* qualifiers */ may involve things like `private',
`protected', `public', `final', `transient', and so on.  (Maybe
even `static', although that would be unusual.)  The constructor
sets the class' fields equal to its parameters, so after construction
the class' `type' field has the same value as the `type' parameter,
and the `children' field refers to the same array as the `children'
parameter.

     If you're still confused, please describe in more detail just
what you're confused about.
