What is a TEX file?

Developed by Donald Knuth, the TEX file is a source document used by the Latex software. The program is a document preparation system that is capable of high-quality typesetting. A TEX file store information in plain text, instead of the formatted text approach of DOCX, WYSIWYG, or ODT files. The extension commonly finds use in electrical engineering, statistics, computer science, physics, and other areas.
A TEX file contains markup conventions that the software uses to ascertain the structure of a given document, such as a book, article, or others. As these files are in plain text, most text editors are capable of opening and editing them.
