Taken from https://cheeze.club/j1rh The <textarea> tag defines a multi-line text input control. A text area can hold an unlimited number of characters, and the text renders in a fixed-width font (usually Courier). The size of a text area can be specified by the cols and rows attributes, or even better; through CSS' height and width properties.

@Zara <textarea> is the tag you use in a form when you need to get an information from the user, in which the information needed is more than one line (multiple lines) is needed. For example being asking the user to submit a simple profile information or a brief description of himself/herself.
