By default, content on a Drupal site is not automatically placed in any particular structure. When creating a node, you don't choose where on the site it should be. You create it, and then other parts of Drupal can make it appear as a subpage to a particular menu item, in a list in a particular section, or as a part of another structure.

The most direct way of bringing structure to your Drupal site is to use menus. These are links collected in a tree structure.

The initial version of this section of the Community Documentation came from the book Drupal 7: The Essentials, courtesy of NodeOne and Johan Falk.
