The Linux filesystem is responsible for storing your system data and managing them. A filesystem can be defined as the mechanism behind data storing and retrieval.

The entire Linux installation resolves around the / point. It is called the root of the file system and is essentially the starting point of your system. It contains several directories, most bearing some historical significance.
