    Why this syntax?

    The WSL mounts a complete file system on its own. So, the syntax to specify a file location in the directory tree is different from the Windows one. The first difference is the root point : Under Windows it uses to be C:\, the equivalent in the bash shell is /mnt/c/. Than, the token separator under Windows is \, in the bash it is the / Unix one. For the rest, the rules are the same, the bash shell supports the same character set as the Windows command shell as well as long filenames and filenames with spaces, provided that they are delimited by double-quotes (").
