Are Vanguards Target Retirment Funds part of the ROTH IRA?

i know, this is a novice question but I want to open the Roth for the tax deferrment and I would like the TR fund for its "simplicity" to novices like myself but is the TR WITHIN the Roth or is it separate. THanks to all.

lizzgeo...just want i wnated to know, thanks so much, your 10 points are on the way!

The Roth IRA is simply a type of account. You can put anything inside of it--cash, CDs, bonds, bond funds, ETFs, individual stocks, mutual funds, index fund, and--yes--that includes target retirement date funds.

I have a Vanguard Roth IRA. I decided to put in it the Target Retirement 2045 fund, the Total International Index (since I want more international than what the TR 2045 gives me), and the REIT index fund.

These were created for 401k's, ira's and Roth's
