The files are organised in a hierarchical directory structure (a tree-like pattern of directories) in which the first directory is called the “root” directory. The root directory contains files and subdirectories, which in turn can contain files and subdirectories.
File Paths:

note: The directory which you are currently in is called the “working directory”. When you login your working directory is set to your home directory.
