The contents knowledges in `2007 Revised Elementary Integrated Curriculum`, -especially, all the contents knowledges in `Disciplined Life`, `Intelligent Life` and `Pleasant Life`-tends to have the rhizomorphous structures in the thematic analysis of the main subjects, activity subjects, and elements in subcategories separately. In the analysis among the subjects, the contents knowledges, `Disciplined Life` and `Intelligent Life` have the arboreous structure among the main subjects, activity subjects, elements in subcategories and `Pleasant Life` has rhizomorphous structure. `Pleasant Life` seems to has a `arboreous structure as `Disciplined Life` and `Intelligent Life` do, but the elements of contents are related in horizontally, not vertically. As the finding of this study, the subject of `2007 Revised Elementary Integrated Curriculum` is a necessity which will approach toward the standpoint of `rhizomorphous knowledge`. Because rhizomorphous structure became closer to the ideal protype of the integrated curriculum that should be formed of the contents that are familiar with learners` life and mind instead of main concepts and principals of certain subjects, and the learners` needs and interests were considered for the selecting the contents of the curriculum.
