There are several different forms the Tree of Life Diagrams. In the ones based on the teachings of Rabbi Isaac Luria (the Ari), Daat (Knowledge) is not counted as one of the 10 Sefirot, because Daat is the ‘outside’ of Keter and the ‘inside’ of Tiferet.  Another way of saying that is, Daat is the interface between the (3 Sefirot of the) mind and the (7 Sefirot of the) body.  In those Lurianic Tree of Life Diagrams, Malchut is fallen and alone, as seen in my picture ‘Ten Sefirot of Nothingness’.

The Tree of Life Diagram in this picture has 13 Sefirot.  The additional 3 Sefirot are the Daat (between Keter and Tiferet in the middle column), and two unnamed Sefirot slightly above and to both sides of Malchut.  This is because when the connection between our mind and body (represented by Daat) will be complete, Malchut (associated with Earth) will no longer be fallen and alone. She will be raised up, expanded to the right and to the left, and become fully integrated and united with all the other Sefirot, as in this 'larger' Tree of Life Diagram with 13 Sefirot.  This is hinted at in the following verse from Zachariah (14:9), "When YHVH will be King upon all the Earth, on that day, YHVH will be one and His Name one."  The Hebrew word for 'one' אחד is Gematria 13, so the 2 'ones' in the above verse add up to 26 - the Gematria of the Name YHVH.
