Where should be placed htaccess file in Prestashop 1.4x?

Question

my Prestashop 1.4x installed in a subdirectory, eg: http://mydomain.com/prestashop/ on Apache server. There is option to generate Htaccess file from admins, which are copied into the /prestashop/ directory. Is it correct location or I should put htaccess into parent(root) directory?

example:

# .htaccess automaticaly generated by PrestaShop e-commerce open-source solution
# WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE MANUALLY. IF NECESSARY, ADD YOUR SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION WITH THE HTACCESS GENERATOR IN BACK OFFICE
# http://www.prestashop.com - http://www.prestashop.com/forums
