Directory structure

A directory structure is like an organized filing system used in computers to manage files and folders. It consists of a hierarchy where folders can contain files or other folders, much like a filing cabinet with drawers, folders, and documents. Each folder can be nested within another, allowing for easy navigation. This structure helps users find and organize their data efficiently, just as a well-structured library helps locate books. Overall, a directory structure makes it simple to categorize and retrieve information when needed.
