It's the other way around. Partition's are mounted to various parts of
your directory structure. You have root, '/', and initially mount a device
there: partition, RAMdisk, whatever. Then you mount other devices to
various mount points.

/dev/sda5 is your root partition. Among others, it has /home, /usr, and
/var to which sda7, sda6, and sda8 are mounted respectively.

In /, /dev/sda5.
