Distinction b/w file system and directory

Can you give a very basic definition of file system vs. directory in unix. The context is around monitoring for disk capacity maxing out.
Why would /appl/sbe/inst_2/config/logs not be able to be because it is a directory
but appl/cce can be monitored because it is a unix file system. They both look like directories to me...
