HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a standard markup language used for creating the structure and presenting content on the World Wide Web.

HTML is called the basic building block of the web because:

  1. It provides a structured format for organizing and presenting information on web pages.

  2. It defines the elements and tags that describe the content, such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, and more.

  3. It allows the inclusion of multimedia elements like videos, audio, and interactive forms.

  4. HTML provides the foundation for adding styles and formatting through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

  5. It enables the creation of hyperlinks that connect different web pages.

  6. HTML is supported by all web browsers, making it universally accessible.

  7. It is a simple and easy-to-learn language, making it an ideal starting point for beginners in web development.

  8. HTML provides semantic meaning to content, making it more meaningful for search engines and assistive technologies.

  9. It separates the content from presentation and functionality, promoting modularity and maintainability.

  10. HTML has evolved with new versions, allowing for the inclusion of more advanced features while maintaining backward compatibility.
