In graphical user interfaces such as Windows and the Macintosh environment, a folder is an object that can contain multiple documents. Folders are used to organize information. In the DOS and UNIX worlds, folders are called directories. A root folder is the first folder of such directories.

It is a folder that is not inside any other folder. If you are using Windows and open My Computer and open your C: drive, every folder you see there is a root folder.
However, if you open any of THOSE folders, none of the folders inside are root folders.

Two meanings:
The root folder of the system is the folder in which the operating system is running.
In the running of a specific application it is the folder in which the program is located.
