WordPress runs on PHP, so it is actually "index.php" file you are looking for and it should reside in the theme folder.
After installing WordPress you'll find one in each of the themes installed - typically "twentyfifteen", "twentysixteen" and "twentyseventeen".
It will depend on which theme you have activated as to which one you will be modifying.
As an example your file path will be something like "sitefolder/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/index.php".
Hope that helps :-) Don

That's the one.
Have you checked out Zac's WordPress Template Hierarchy course? That should give you a better understanding of how it is all put together.
Cheers Don :-)
