C# is normally said to have a Unified Type System, that is–every type derives from object (System.Object), directly or indirectly.
This is mostly true, but not completely accurate.
Most types do derive from object, including: classes, value types, and delegates. And all object instances that you work with will be instances of types that do derive from object. (Or they will have a null value).
