Circular purple icon with white arrow inside

There is a circular purple icon with a white arrow inside that is displayed on top of some of these folders in the root folder. What does this icon mean? It's on the sbin folder, for example. (btw, I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux and will likely ask some awfully-phrased questions at some point on here)
