href is an attribute that takes URI as a value to link to certain page or section of body.

link to website:

<a href="www.sololearn.com" >Hello</a>

Here "a" tag is used to make a link, "href" attribute is used to get link address and "Hello" is the word that will be displayed on the browser screen and it will be clickable. When you click on "Hello" word it will redirect you to the website www.sololearn.com.

link to section of document:

<div id="Hi" ></div>

<a href="#Hi" >Hello</a>

It is same as above only difference is we gave "href" value of "#Hi" where Hi is the value of id attribute of div element.
Now if you click on "hello" you will be redirected to the div element. This is used if your page is very long and to avoid scrolling all the way to that div element you just have to click on hello.
