The filesystem is a hierarchy. It's possible to restrict a program or daemon to it's own part of that hierarchy. This is supposed to make it more secure because a user cannot access anything outside of it's "root".
The people at FreeBSD implemented Jails which allow a whole instance of the operating system to run in a chroot like fashion.
