node modules?

so I just finished watching this video, https://teamtreehouse.com/library/managing-dependencies-in-the-packagejson-file, when I look into my computer files I found 6 folders with the name node modules, is that normal? I am still trying to understand the way node modules is supposed to work..

The node modules folder should be contained within each of your projects directories. Each project will have its own node modules folder that will contain the third party packages that are used in the project.

It’s basically just a folder with a whole bunch of dependencies for the project.
