Metadata refers to descriptive information about a file, such as its name, size, creation date, modification date, file type, and permissions. It provides context and additional details about the file without necessarily containing the file's actual content. Metadata is crucial for effective file management, search, and retrieval. It helps users quickly identify files, understand their characteristics, and determine their usage permissions.
