You should have a look at the different REP related to frames : REP 103, REP 105 and REP 120.
The standard tf tree in your case looks like : map -> odom -> base_link -> laser. Map should be at the top of the tf tree since it's the world frame.
It's not required to have the base_footprint
, it's just the base_link
frame with z=0, you are free to create it or not.
