The span is a tag in Html. Html <span> tag is used for grouping the inline elements and applying the style to them. This tag applies the styles by using the class or id attributes. This tag is similar to the Html <div> tag, but it is an inline tag. This tag is used at that time when there is no other semantic tag is present to use.
<span> tag is a paired tag, i.e., it has open as well as close tag, so it is mandatory to close this tag.
