Linux has two forms of swap space: the swap partition and the swap file. The swap partition is an independent section of the hard disk used solely for swapping; no other files can reside there. The swap file is a special file in the filesystem that resides amongst your system and data files. To see what swap space you have, use the command swapon -s.
A swap partition is simply the Linux equivalent of a Windows paging file. Many linux used/still can use a file rather than a swap partition. It's worth noting that unlike Windows which use only ram and a page file, some linux systems also have zram and zswap to aid the system.
