The mount point is the highest-level directory for a specific filesystem (partition). For example, on my system, I have the following partitions mounted:

/dev/hdb5 on / type xfs (rw)
/dev/hdb6 on /home type xfs (rw)
/dev/hdb8 on /usr type xfs (rw)
/dev/hdb9 on /usr/local type xfs (rw)
/dev/hdb10 on /var type xfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /WIN98C type vfat (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /WIN98D type vfat (rw)

The directory following the word "on" is the mount point for the respective partition.

Hope this helps.
