I assume that if it protect a folder, then it also protect anything in that folder, subfolders included .... or?

Not yet clear for me : anti-ransom shiel automaticaly protected somme of my subfolders, but not all of them. I added the root folder to the list abd I want to be sure that all my subfolders are now protected, because I have a lot of subfolders and it seems that the number of folder is limited in the list proposed on the  window to add them
