Broken images - create-react-app with VS code

So I copied the final code from this course and pasted it into index.js, index.css, and index.html in my create-react-app when I load it I see all the cards and the styling and text all look right however the image does not show up. If I change the url from a relative path to a random absolute img on the web it does work. Why is this happening?

Okay just figured this out. I had to move the img folder inside the public folder. Because the relative path is to index.html and not index.js

Greetings,

The same thing happened to me and I was able to fix it by moving it to the public folder as well. However, I would like to understand the 'Why' better. Would you mind sharing (0r provide a link that goes through why this happened)?
