There a a minimum number of files in the root directory - usually a link to the core kernel image and several sub-directories (the rest of the file system, such as bin, etc, usr, etc.).

The maximum number varies depending on the environment.

How do you save a file to the root?

You can only save a file to the root directory of a system (in Unix) if you have permission to do so, and most users do not have this permission. Also, it is unnecessary (and a bad idea) to save files to the root directory; usually only other directories are placed here. Having said that, it depends on the program you are running, in terms of saving to the root directory.

What is a directory in the sense of a computer files?

Directories and folders are interchangeable terms. In the days before Windows (known as the "DOS" days), "Folders" were called, "Directories." To explain what a directory was, it was said to be "like a folder" which held documents (files) and sometimes envelopes (sub-directories) which could also hold other envelops and/or documents etc. etc. At some point Microsoft started referring to "Directories" as "Folders" supposedly to make it easier to understand for those new to computers. Computer files are always found in a named Directory. If a file isn't in a named directory, it is said to be in the "Root" directory i.e "In the root directory of the D: drive." Further, if a sub-directory/folder is in another directory, it is the "child" of the "parent" directory.
