man cron er fantastisk :-)

cron searches its  spool  area  (/var/spool/cron/crontabs)
       for  crontab  files  (which  are  named  after accounts in
       /etc/passwd); crontabs found are loaded into memory.  Note
       that  crontabs  in  this  directory should not be accessed
       directly - the crontab command should be  used  to  access
       and update them.

       cron  also reads /etc/crontab, which is in a slightly dif­
       ferent format (see crontab(5)).  Additionally, cron  reads
       the  files in /etc/cron.d; see the DEBIAN SPECIFIC section
       below for more details.
