Overview
A module is a collection of related packages that are released, versioned and distributed together.
Packages are published as modules.
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).
Modules may be downloaded directly from version control repositories, or from module proxy servers.
Modules have been introduced in Go 1.11.

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.
