That would be /root, which is the home directory of the root user. Keep in mind, according to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, /root is actually optional, but I've never seen a Linux distribution that didn't have it anyway.

What is the directory in Linux?

One of the most noticable differences between Linux and Windows is the directory structure. Not only is the format different, but the logic of where to find things is different In Windows, you use this format to access a directory: C:\Folder1\subfolder\file.txt In Linux, this is the basic format: /Folder1/subfolder/file.txt You'll notice that the slashes are forward slashes in Linux versus backslashes in Windows. Also, there is no drive name (C:, D:, etc.) in Linux. At boot, the 'root partition' is mounted at /. All files, folders, devices and drives are mounted under /. Though it is not apparent from this example, it is important to note that files and folders in Linux are case sensitive. /Folder1/subfolder/file.txt is not the same as /folder1/subfolder/file.txt.
