It represents the end of the code/element/line. It is also useful in another way > helps you to read code in a less confusing manner. For example, I show you : <p>Hello<p><p>this<p><p>is pretty confusing<p><!--with all--><p>the<p><p>p<p><p>isnt it?<p> Which is why we do this instead : <p>Hello</p><p>this</p><p>is pretty confusing</p><!--with all--><p>the</p><p>p</p><p>isnt it?</p> So that the system and you can easily read it with lesser trouble

It is indicating closing tag. Every tag you open, you have to close aswell. For example <body></body>
