Why do we need to use br tag in tables as mentioned in the topic "tables"??

Answer 1

HTML automatically settles the heights of the rows by the highest elements in the rows.

If you only left blanks in each column of a row you would cause the row to be displayed as "closed" or as mimum height.

Like this:
______
|__|__|
|__|__|

Would be displayed like this:
|==|==|
|==|==|

Because the columns were empty in each row they automatically got the smallest row height.

You can increase the smallest height to the height of gap created by newline <br />, which can be of the same height as a paragraph with 1 line of text.

Answer 2

Is this the code you are wondering about?

<table border="2">
<tr>
<td>Red</td>
<td>Blue</td>
<td>Green</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br /></td>
<td colspan="2"><br /></td>
</tr>
</table>

In that example, <br /> is used simply so that the columns can be visible. Try to remove the <br /> from the code and you will understand. Empty table columns <td></td> will not be visible as obvious because there's nothing there to show.

You can alternatively use &nbsp; in place of the <br />. You can also use <br /> to write column text in multiple lines, as follows:

<td>This<br />text<br />is broken</td>
