Answer 1

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.

For example being asking the user to submit a simple profile information or a brief description of himself/herself.
