--description--

In computer file systems, root directory refers to the main or top-level directory. It's like the top drawer of a filing cabinet, containing all other folders and files.

A main folder is the primary folder in which a project or a set of files is stored.

A subfolder is like a smaller drawer inside the top one, located within another folder.

For example, in a project called MyProject, the root directory would be the MyProject folder, and any folder inside it, like Images, would be a subfolder.
