Simply link is a connection to another web file. It contains another web page's file name like "index.html" to connect them. If you go over these text with your mouse , cursor will be changed and this link can be clicked... If you change href lines like this : "another_page.html" , then you will navigate to this page.

The main use of anchor tags - <a></a> - is as hyperlinks. That basically means that they take you somewhere. Hyperlinks require the href property, because it specifies a location.
