You may be referring to "growth rings", or more commonly, "tree rings." These rings are visible on the horizontal cross sections of trees as concentric sets of circles. The rings mark the growth of the tree through the seasons of a year and one ring usually equals one year of time. Counting the number of rings from the center out to the edge will give you an estimate on the age of the tree.
