 With nodes and relationships, you can build a graph that can express both simple and complex patterns.

 An undirected relationship does not mean that it doesn't have a direction, but that it can be traversed in *either* direction.
 While you can't *create* relationships without a direction, you can *query* them undirected (in the example, using the link:{docs-home}/cypher-manual/current/clauses/match/[`MATCH`] clause).
 
-Using undirected relationships in queries is particularly useful when you don't know the direction, since Cypher won't return anything if you write a query with the wrong direction.
-Cypher will therefore retrieve *all* nodes connected by the specified relationship type, regardless of direction.
