A mount point is a directory used to access a resource, such as an NFS share or block device. For instance, if I have a USB Flash drive, I can mount it and specify a mount point of /mnt/myflashdrive.

The standard mount point for a swap partition is not defined in the same way as for file systems, as swap space is not mounted like a traditional filesystem. Instead, it is designated for use by the operating system to manage memory. Typically, swap is configured during system setup by specifying the swap partition in the system's configuration files, such as /etc/fstab in Linux, but it does not have a traditional mount point like /mnt or /media.
