HTML <table> tag is utilized to create tables on a webpage. It helps in structuring and displaying data in an organized and tabular manner. It helps to render the information in rows and columns, utilizing elements like <tr>, <th>, and <td> to specify different parts of the table cells.
Additionally, We can also define <thead>, <caption>, <tfoot>, and <body> elements to provide additional structure to the table.
