          Magento2 uses the /index.php is mainly for the CLI commands where there is no use of media and static folders. But while you access the website, you need to point to the index.php only. Because the media paths were defined only in pub/index.php.

            Magento 2 generally use /index.php in root file. But when you will go live and change the mode to production Magento will use pub/index.php.

              In magento 2 root/index.php and pub/index.php both index.php are entry points and they are reusing the same app/bootstrap.php



              • The pub/index.php -- if you are able to configure the "pub" directory as the document root on Server.

              • In order to run a Magento 2 web application, the "pub" directory is the only one that's necessary to expose.

              • The rest you can hide (typically for security reasons, to avoid accidental exposing local.xml or something like that).

              • It is more secure than root.
