directory tree

A directory tree is a way to organize files and folders on a computer, similar to a family tree or a filing cabinet. It starts with a main folder (called the root) and branches out into subfolders, which can contain more subfolders and files. This structure helps keep information organized and easy to find. Think of it as a map showing how different folders relate to each other, making navigation straightforward. The directory tree visually displays the hierarchy, so you can see how everything is connected under one organized system.
