File System Hierarchy

The file system hierarchy is the structured way files and directories (folders) are organized on a computer or device. Imagine it as a tree: the top is the "root" or main folder, branching out into various directories, which can contain more subdirectories or files. Each folder serves a specific purpose, making it easier to find and access data. For example, a "Documents" folder holds text files, while "Pictures" contains images. This organized structure helps manage, store, and retrieve information efficiently, ensuring users can quickly locate what they need within their digital environment.
