Explanation

This is True. Terraform workspaces are a mechanism for managing multiple distinct state files within a single configuration directory. Each workspace (e.g., default, dev, prod) maintains its own isolated state file, meaning infrastructure changes in one workspace do not affect another. For local backends, state files are stored under a terraform.tfstate.d/<workspace-name>/ directory structure. This isolation is the primary purpose of workspaces - allowing the same configuration to manage separate, independent infrastructure deployments.
