Answer / anvesh reddy
At a bare minimum, Linux requires just one partition to
install and boot. This is the root
partition, which is known as the / partition. However, a
minimum of two partitions is recommended: one
for the root partition and one for the swap partition.

Answer / bharat malik
I think two root and /boot as root contains everything and /boot is to load as it contains the kernel but /swap isn't tat required becoz if ram is enough to handle everything then allocating space for it will be a wastage.
