Just static contents that do not need to compile (.html, .svg, .jpg, ...).

Just like www folder for ASP.net Core projects.

But It is your desition to put them there or somewhere else.

React is a JavaScript library that needs to be "compiled" into code that the browser understands, so the public or build or dist folders are for holding the output of the compilation process or if you'd like, they store your artifact.

Just like target folder for Java projects.
