Press WinKey+R then type %systemroot% to find out! It will likely be C:\Windows\ but if you're using multiple versions of Windows on the same computer, the others could be on different drive letters e.g. N:\Windows\

It is known as a Global Variable and is set to the system directory on the machine. e.g: C:\windows\system32

It's a way to define where the Windows System Root folder is that's applicable to different versions of windows. You can actually type "%SystemRoot%" in an explorer window and it will take you to the system root. For example: The system root of XP and newer is C:\Windows The system root of NT is C:\WINNT
If this is a sample test or homework question from a course you paid money for, you got ripped off. %SystemRoot% refers to the location of the system or "Windows" folder. It may be the C:\Windows directory, but it doesn't have to be (and you shouldn't assume that it is... the whole point of defining %SystemRoot% is so you don't have to guess where the system folder is).
It means the "system32" folder inside whatever the system folder of the currently running version of Windows is. It may be, in fact probably is (at least 90% of the time), C:\Windows\system32, but the point of using the %SystemRoot% specification is that even if you've somehow managed to install Windows in some nonstandard location, that will point to the correct directory.
SystemRoot%SystemRoot% defines your Operating System's defualt folder or location that all the system files are stored at.%SystemRoot% is a system wide variable which refers to the path and folder name where system files are located. Typically this is C:\Windows, although you can designate a different drive or folder when windows is installed. you can use %SystemRoot% in place of the actual location of the folder that contains the windows system files.For example, to identify your system root folder, click Start -> Run, type %SystemRoot% and click OK. This will open windows explorer with your system root folder displayed.Confusingly if you go Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables, then scroll to the bottom of the list and double click windir you will see that %SystemRoot% is actually a "Variable value" of a variable named windir.
