Mount in Linux refers to the process of making a file system accessible at a specific location in the directory tree. When you mount a storage device, such as a hard drive, USB drive, or network share, you link its file system to a directory (known as a mount point) on the existing file system, allowing you to access its files and directories. The mount command is used to perform this operation, specifying the device and the mount point. Conversely, unmounting (using the umount command) disconnects the file system from the directory tree, making it inaccessible until remounted.
