Hierarchical file system
text:
In computing, a hierarchical file system is a file system that uses directories to organize files into a tree structure. In a hierarchical file system, directories contain information about both files and other directories, called subdirectories which, in turn, can point to other subdirectories, and so on. This is organized as a tree structure, or hierarchy, generally portrayed with the root at the top. The root directory is the base of the hierarchy, and is usually stored at some fixed location
