When will we type the value of attribute like this?

Question

<img src="/images/picture.jpg">
Explanation from w3school:
picture.jpg is located in the images folder at the root of the current web
What is that mean? Is that mean including the folder in code?

Answer 2

It is said an absolute path, guess it is related to file system structure, I don't know if this makes any sense at all to you, but I hope so:

/ ← root
/images/ ← subdirectory
/styles/ ← subdirectory

[(still) w3schools - HTML file path]
