# Modules
|
|
|
|
Modules in Terraform are self-contained packages of Terraform configurations
|
|
that are managed as a group. Modules are used to create reusable components
|
|
in Terraform as well as for basic code organization.
|
|
|
|
Modules are very easy to both use and create. Depending on what you're
|
|
looking to do first, use the navigation on the left to dive into how
|
|
modules work.
|
|
|
|
## Definitions
|
|
**Root module**
|
|
That is the current working directory when you run [`terraform apply`](/docs/commands/apply.html) or [`get`](/docs/commands/get.html), holding the Terraform [configuration files](/docs/configuration/index.html).
|
|
It is itself a valid module.
