FindFirstChild identifies the "first" child (or descendant if the optional second argument is specified as true) which has the name given in the parameter.
Wiki article on FindFirstChild
The "first" doesn't really mean anything useful; as long as there is only one such child (or descendant*) with that name, it will return that child.
If there is not such object with that name, FindFirstChild returns nil. This can be contrasted with simple indexing using .name or ["name"] which will trigger an error. Therefore if you are unsure whether or not a child may exist in an object, you should use FindFirstChild so that errors will not occur.
print(
game:FindFirstChild("Workspace") == game.Workspace
);
-- true
