Understand the elements of a table
The structure of a table is defined in HTML by the <table> tag. Each row of cells is defined by the <tr> tag.
Tables have headers which are defined by the <th> tag and the body of the table, the cells, are defined by the <td> tag.
Moreover, the different parts of a table can be grouped together. The headers can be grouped together using the <thead> tag and the main-body content using the <tbody> tag.
Tables can also have footers which are defined by the <tfoot> tag.
Ew can also add a caption using the tag <caption>
