How the URL is formulated in Drupal?

How is the Drupal path formulated? If we have a Drupal path like channel/1 or like subchannel/2/1, are channel and subchannel taxonomies? How do we look at these data in the database?

As the URLs you used as example are not standard URLs that a Drupal site without third-party module handles by default, the answer depends from the modules you installed in your Drupal site.
For example, there could be a module that handles RSS feeds; the module could return the content of a RSS feed for URLs such as example.com/channel/1 and the partial content of a RSS feed with URLs similar to example.com/subchannel/2/1.

Actually you could have created a path alias that points example.com/channel/1 to example.com/taxonomy/term/1, but for Drupal there isn't an automatic association between example.com/channel/1 and example.com/taxonomy/term/1, or any taxonomy term URL.

There is no simple answer.

Many parts of Drupal and its modules affect URLs. For example, you can use the Pathauto module to assign an arbitrary path to a particular node. If you use Views, you can specify a path to display it, and even use extra path elements as arguments.

Unfortunately, you can't just look at the database to see how the paths work.
