HTML <td> Tag

Description

The <td> HTML tag, which stands for "table data," is an essential element used within HTML tables to define individual data cells within rows. It is typically used in conjunction with the <tr> (table row) and <th> (table header) tags to create structured and organized tabular data on web pages. Each 'td' element represents a single cell in a table and contains the actual content or data that is displayed within that cell. Tables are widely used for presenting data in a grid-like format, such as in spreadsheets or lists, making <td> tags fundamental for structuring and formatting information on websites.
