BIOS is a set of boot programs stored on a non-volatile ROM on the motherboard which is different for every system configuration. That would simply mean that unlike other programs it has direct hardware control.

Where do you find bios directory in windows?

There is no "bios" directory in windows (or, any other operating system). BIOS stands for "basic input output system", and is a very basic set of instructions for the hardware to initialize itself and prepare to load an Operating System. BIOS is almost always held in an EEPROM on the computer motherboard. Accessing and changing this EEPROM can only be done through special programs specifically designed to modify the BIOS. In most cases, PC BIOS is not directly readable by you - rather, you can update the contents of them by using a bios flash program. This program (usually supplied by your motherboard or computer maker) is run, and provided with a pre-made image file, which contains the entire new BIOS code to be loaded in. This update program is an ordinary program, and can be run from any location (directory) on your computer.

Why BIOS is being updated?

The basic input/output system (BIOS) on a computer is a simple yet important program on a personal computer (PC) that helps the computer properly boot and run an operating system (OS) during startup. BIOS drivers are typically used in reference to the program itself, and how the program runs and interacts with other devices on the computer. The BIOS drivers on a computer are saved on a small battery located on the motherboard and allow for the proper initialization and startup of a computer when powered on.
