Div has no semantic meaning, Therefor HTML5 has introduced many new tags that describe content better for us to use instead of divs like <nav>, <section>, <header>, <article>, <footer>, etc..

Answer 4

e.g. we use div (it means division) for creating menus of the website. So we create a div for something like left menus and it will have some nested divs for each menu. and also we can do this for header, footer, posts, and etc.
