wwwroot is the default location for the asp.net core static file handler. If you are asp.net, then the static file handler looks in the root. Typically you would have an index.html file that references the JavaScript files. The structure of the static angular site depends on your tool chain. normally you would a production build and copy to the root of site. Also the default build will not support a subdir, it expects to be the web server root site. See build instructions if you need a sub site.
