<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

<html> this tag is the root element of the code. The tag is the container that contains all the elements in the web pages.

<head> this tag is used to print heading in the web pages. The <head> element is a container for metadata (data about data) and head tag is placed between the <html> tag and the <body> tag.

<body> is defines the structure of the web page body. <body> tag contains all the elements which are used in the website like paragraphs, headings, images, hyperlinks, tables, etc.
