What does it means when it says mount the file system ?what does this big
file tree mean in the statement of man mount .?can anyone explain in detail.

 man mount .....

All  files accessible in a Unix system are arranged in one
big tree, the file hierarchy, rooted at  /.   These  files
can  be spread out over several devices. The mount command
serves to attach the file system found on some  device  to
the  big file tree. Conversely, the umount(8) command will
detach it again.
