So what is an image?
Is this a docs issue?

Information is incorrect
Description
https://docs.docker.com/get-started/#what-is-an-image
A running container uses an isolated filesystem. This isolated filesystem is provided by an image, and the image must contain everything needed to run an application - all dependencies, configurations, scripts, binaries, etc. The image also contains other configurations for the container, such as environment variables, a default command to run, and other metadata.

Suggestion
The description says what an image contains, but in the description, there is no definition of what is an image. So what is an image? Is it some kind of ZIP archive? ISO file? A list of files and dependencies? What is it exactly?
