What is the "directory" structure for iOS for the iPad Air 2?

I need to transfer some PC-based data (MS WORD primarily for use in iOS Word processor application) from a now-defunct PC to my iPad Air 2 (via a USB external HD). However, I do not understand where the data would be stored on the iPad Air 2. What is the data storage structure for the iOS on the iPad Air 2? Appreciatively, Arbyem

Apple IOS uses HFS Plus for the filesystem.
It is split into sandboxed areas. Each app have three areas; Bundle area for app items, Data area for Documents,Library,Temp and a iCloud container. So for Word documents, your documents would be in its own 'Documents' folder in the Data area for the Word app.
