The View items are the individual results (Rows) returned from the View. The layout of the View items are not created directly within the View template because they reference View modes which have their own View mode templates. For example, you can reference the Teaser view mode as your View item and create a template for the teaser.

You can also use the View item element to render Fields rather than View modes. For more information, see the section below Rendering fields.
