Dns root servers are located on dns root hierarchy?

Hi, i have a question about the dns root servers. For example if i want to resolve a domain www.google.com. i start from the dot(.) and then i go down(tree) and i find the com. and then another level down is the google.com. etc. The question is the f.root-servers.net which is a dns root server is located under the .net and then another level down root-servers.net etc?

Thanks in advance!
