Answer 1

In a linked list, the "next" pointer usually points to the next node, so you can traverse the list through the pointers.

Answer 2

First node or head or root whatever it is, holds the address of data part of next node? And we call it next pointer is pointing 👉 to next node.
When we allocate memory for one node malloc allocate size for those 2 part of node(data variables & next pointer) and return the address of data variable? 🤔

When i print &data and &head->data. Addresses are same
