If by "CD" you mean the linux terminal command "cd", it stands for "change directory". It allows you to move from one directory to another. It's basically the same as Window's cd command.

cd / will take you to the very first directory, which is the root directory. (Do not confuse this with /root directory)

cd .. will take you one directory up

cd ~ will take you to your (currently logged in user's) home directory, which is, (/home/)

cd - will take you back to where you were before you change directories.

What is the comfortable Linux OS for offline use or use without internet connection?

There is no reason why a Linux OS (of any distro) can not be used without an internet connection. Provided that either an Linux type OS is downloaded and written as an IOS on a CD (for one example) to be used as a live CD with the options of trying or installing. Or you have been given the install disk, so not needing the internet! There are many operating systems and therefore, many opinions on what distro is the "best"! Have a look at Linux Mint or Ubuntu - my choice!
