You have to look at your system and look at /etc/fstab.

You will see in fstab en entry for /, /usr, /var. Cd to / and do ls. All
of the dirs that you see in / that are not /usr or /var actually belong to
the / filesystem. 

But be careful, some of those are links. For example, /home is actually a
link to /usr/home.
