Working with content types and fields (Drupal 7 and later) In Drupal, a Content Type is a pre-defined collection of data types (Fields) which relate to one another by an informational context.

Content Types define default fields for editors to add content on a Drupal site and are the building blocks for structured authoring and content. Content types often work in conjunction with Views, which is one way you can serve up content to your end users; you can control the content types that appear and the order in which they appear.

At the time it was instigated (1996), it was not clear that web sites [and the documents made available there] would often turn out to be transient.
