ā head tag is used as container for metadata elements (metadata means "data about data")
ā Head contains elements like "(<title></title>), (<style>), (<link>), (script), (base) and (meta)"
ā uses of metadata elements :
ā£ (<title></title>) defines title of document in search results
ā£ (<style>) defines style of document (generally contains css),
ā£ (<link>) defines links,
ā£ (script) defines scripts (ex: JS),
ā£ metadata elements also defines char sets and other meta informations.
ā Such non-visual elements do not appear on the user interface at run time; instead, theyĀ support visual controls or provide other services such as logging. Non-visual controls typically hold data, formatting, or other information needed by one or more interactive controls.

That means anything you write in that section will not be shown to the client in the front-end , let's say it's you talking to the page not to the viewers .
