Can AutoCAD open DXF files?

What is difference between DWG and DXF file?
DWG files are more compact than DXF files and can also store a greater variety of files. DWG files use binary code - that is, a computer processing language made of zeroes and ones. DXF files use text-based coding (ASCII). Binary code is more compact, so DWG files tend to be about 25% smaller than DXF.
Why DXF file is used? DXF is short for Drawing Interchange Format or Drawing Exchange Format. Commonly known as AutoCAD DXF format, is a CAD data file format. It was developed by Autodesk to enable data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs.

What does a DXF file contain?
A DXF file is an ASCII file containing 2D and 3D components representing a drawing. Those components are known as Entities. The DXF file can represent almost any CAD drawing using those entities and can connect a group of entities together (such as windows, doors, etc.) and use them later in the file.
