Key words used in this concept — explained simply, no jargon.
A filesystem is the method an operating system uses to organise, store, and retrieve files on a storage device. Linux uses ext4 and XFS most commonly in production, plus virtual filesystems like /proc and /sys that exist only in memory.
An inode is a data structure in a Linux filesystem that stores metadata about a file — its permissions, owner, size, and data block locations — but not its filename. The filename lives in a directory entry that points to the inode number.
