There isn't one by default. You can create one by uploading it to the root of your directory. So where the wp-config.php file and the rest is located.

These are really Wordpress basics Atul

Might be a good idea for you to read some articles on wordpress.org about this.

You can find the wp-config.php file in the root folder of your domain. Where all the wordpress files are located and where all the folders are located like /themes /plugins. That's the root.

Making a .htaccess file isn't hard. It's just a txtfile which has been saved as a .htaccess file without an extension.

Just add the following code, where example.com is your domain

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
