    3. Upload the WordPress files to the desired location on your web server: ◾ If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (excluding the WordPress directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.

    what does ‘excluding the WordPress directory” mean. the only folder in WordPress zip file is WordPress

    It means when you want to install wordpress on example.com you need to extract files in example.com in this case you can see index.php and other files and folders under example.com and you don’t need to extract them in example.com/wordpress. If you are unfamiliar with wordpress installation, you can read Installing WordPress

    That is the one you leave where it is locally and just copy everything inside it to your destination. There are three wp-(whatever) folders and several individual files to be uploaded into your “root”, or you can instead upload everything into a sub-folder and everything will still work just fine with nothing extra needing done if your host makes it possible to call PHP and point your domain name to your installation’s sub-folder location by using a special htaccess file in “root”.
