Semantic HTML means using HTML tags that describe the meaning or purpose of the content inside them. Instead of using generic tags like <div> or <span> everywhere, we use more meaningful tags like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <article>, and <footer>.
These tags help browsers, search engines, and screen readers understand the structure of your webpage better. For example, <header> tells the browser that it's the top part of the page, and <nav> means that it's a menu or navigation area.
