A filesystem organises a computer’s files and directories into a tree structure.

The first directory in the filesystem is called the root directory - and it is the parent of all other directories in the system.

Each parent directory can have unlimited child directories and files.

Each child directory can also be a parent directory with child directories and files.

It’s a nested (or tree) structure.

Finder for Mac OS and Windows Explorer for Windows are filesystems in a tree structure.
