Assets explained
What is an asset?
An asset is a specific, objectified concept in the game that can be highly detailed like a blade of grass, or larger like a building, or intangible like sound effects. Unity defines an asset as, "Shorthand for anything that goes into a video game – characters, objects, sound effects, maps, environments, etc."
Every asset is defined in a set of normalized asset files that describe its relationship to the game, other assets, and itself.
