Actually proc has information of virtual file system.
Virtual file system provides an interface between kernel space and user space.
Most of the files in proc have just got read only permissions.
For ex: if we compile and run some program, it's pid number number will be visible in ps -ax. We can fetch that pid number in /proc directory, and get to know all information about that program, like the fd it used, functions, etc.
