File system uses directories which are the files containing the name and location of other file in the file system. Unlike other file,directory does not store the user data. Directories are the file that can point to other directories. Root directory point to various user directory. So they will be stored in such a  way that user cannot easily  modify them. They should be placed at fixed location on the disk.
