That depends on the file system being used.

Linux doesn't have just one file system.

But various features you'll often find in a filesystem include inode tables, journals, redundant superblocks, extents, etc.

The Linux kernel itself will physically arrance the files on the disk itself with guidance from filesystem drivers, but you'll notice that Linux never fragments significantly.

What is the Linux Virtual File System used for?

The Linux VFS (Virtual File System) may be thought of as a sort of interface between the Linux kernel and the mounted file systems. There can be many different file system types mounted simultaneously and VFS allows the Linux kernel to see and address them all in a similar way. This provides Linux with a great deal of flexibility. [JMH]
