Error at XML validation

I am new to xml, so if someone could point me out to what is wrong here I would bevery glad.

I am basically trying to validate a xml document in the form

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<tag1>foo</tag1>
<tag2>bar</tag2>
<tree>
    <moreStuffBelow></moreStuffBelow>
    <!-- // -->
</tree>

and am getting these error messages from the W3C validator :

Errors found while checking this document as XML!
document type does not allow element "tag2" here
document type does not allow element "tree" here

Thank you

Each XML must have one single root element. In your case there isn't a root element.

All XML needs one and only one root element:

<Something>
   <tag1>1</tag1>
   <tag2>Cipret</tag2>
   <tree>
       <moreStuffBelow></moreStuffBelow>
       <!-- // -->
   </tree>
</Something>
