Overview
A module is a collection of related packages with built-in dependencies and versioning, that are released together. The module contains the packages in the directory containing its go.mod file as well as subdirectories of that directory, up to the next subdirectory containing another go.mod file (if any).

go.mod
go.mod declares the module path, which is the import path prefix for all packages within the module.
Module Path
A module path serves as import path prefix for its packages. It also indicates where the go tool command should look to download it. For example, to download the module golang.org/x/tools, the go tool should go to the repository indicated by https://golang.org/x/tools.
