Is the EBS volume mounted ? and where?

Viewed 1205

In my EC2 instance, that is attached to a volume EBS of 100GB, I run this command:

[ec2-user ~]$ lsblk

NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda    202:0    0  100G  0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1    0    8G  0 part /

Here is the file /etc/fstab:

UUID=ue9a1ccd-a7dd-77f8-8be8-08573456abctkv       /   ext4    defaults       1       1

I want to understand: why only the volume of 8GB has a mount point ? Also, is the fact of mounting a volume on root '/', means that all the content of root is being stored on EBS volume?
