In this paper, we study the shape of the min-max minimal hypersurface produced by Almgren-Pitts in \cite{A2}\cite{P} corresponding to the fundamental class of a Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1}, g)$ of positive Ricci curvature with $2\leq n\leq 6$. We characterize the Morse index, area and multiplicity of this min-max hypersurface. In particular, we show that the min-max hypersurface is either orientable and of index one, or is a double cover of a non-orientable minimal hypersurface with least area among all closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces.
