man zshparam

First Section "DESCRIPTION"
First Paragraph

[cite]
A parameter has a name, a value, and a number of attributes. 
A name may be any sequence of alphanumeric characters and underscores,
or the single characters ‘*', ‘@', ‘#', ‘?', ‘-', ‘$', or ‘!'. A
parameter whose name begins with an alphanumeric or underscore is also
referred to as a variable.
[/cite]

For me this definitely adequately describes what exactly a 'parameter'
is.

   --> arguments <--==--> parameters <--==--> variables <--

Is just depends on the angle from which I have the view to them.

And the $ZDOTDIR:
   https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Intro/intro_3.html

So, if you want to have the zsh startup files, e.g. your sysop mounts
your team account to somewhere else than

/home/user,

then he will probably set

ZDOTDIR=/srv/teams/coders/user


Have a lot of Fun...
