It's whereever the SQL Server binary files (exe and dlls) are.

Why?

It cannot be viewed through SSMS Object Explorer if that is what you were wondering. Gail told you where the physical files reside and there are ways to access it as a database in a query session, but again, why do you want to know?

Location and other important info: Resource Database (SQL Server 2008 R2)

You can take a copy of the mdf and ldf files while the instance is running. Do some searches online and read about the topic. A backup buys you some coverage in the case of some very specific disaster scenarios, but not much.
