231,269 PointsThe HTML <section> element is a generic semantic container which is handy for grouping page content that doesn't have a more specific semantic element to represent it (like a "nav" or "article").
For more details, see this MDN page on <section>.

The section tag divides the content into section and subsections. The section tag is used when requirements of two headers or footers or any other section of documents needed. Section tag grouped the generic block of related contents. The main advantage of the section tag is, it is a semantic element, which describes its meaning to both browser and developer.
