I am new to UNIX and researching some information about it for a class so please help if you can.
Thanks.
To put it simple, we prefer order instead of chaos.
There are plenty of resources on the net which tell you the purpose of the various directories on a Unix system and therefore the idea behind the hierarchical structure.

APPRES(1) General Commands Manual APPRES(1)
NAME
appres - list X application resource database
SYNOPSIS
appres [class [instance]] [-1] [toolkitoptions]
DESCRIPTION
The appres program prints the resources seen by an application (or subhierarchy of an application) with the specified class and instance
names. It can be used to determine which resources a particular program will load. For example,
% appres XTerm
will list the resources that any xterm program will load. If no application class is specified, the class -AppResTest- is used.
To match a particular instance name, specify an instance name explicitly after the class name, or use the normal Xt toolkit option. For
example,
% appres XTerm myxterm
or
% appres XTerm -name myxterm
To list resources that match a subhierarchy of an application, specify hierarchical class and instance names. The number of class and
instance components must be equal, and the instance name should not be specified with a toolkit option. For example,
% appres Xman.TopLevelShell.Form xman.topBox.form
will list the resources of widgets of xman topBox hierarchy. To list just the resources matching a specific level in the hierarchy, use
the -1 option. For example,
% appres XTerm.VT100 xterm.vt100 -1
will list the resources matching the xterm vt100 widget.
