#' Transform a phylo object into a matrix.

#' \code{matTree} transforms a phylo tree into a matrix. The entry of the matrix
#' is node number. Each row represents a path connecting a leaf node and the
#' root. The columns are arranged in the order as the path passing the nodes to
#' reach the root.
#'
#' @param tree A phylo object
#' @export
#' @return A matrix
