UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, replacing the legacy BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) firmware interface. EFI files are boot files used by the UEFI firmware that is installed on a computer's motherboard. These files are used to launch the operating system or another utility program in the event of a system startup issue. They are typically stored in the EFI System Partition (ESP) on the hard disk drive.

What is the meaning of a file extension?

File extensions are characters that appear after the dot in a computer file's name. For example, the file "unknown-file.efi" has the file extension "efi". This is used to identify which program should open the file or what file type it is.
File extensions help you organize and manage files. They provide a quick and easy way to identify and associate the file type with the appropriate software.
