The <html> tag tells the browser that this is an HTML document. The <html> tag represents the root of an HTML document. The <html> tag is the container for all other HTML elements (except for the <!DOCTYPE> tag). In the video he put it <html lang=“en”> that means that the whole html document is im english. Is that what you want? https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2016/06/using-the-html-lang-attribute/

<html> tag is the root of the whole html document. You cannot change the style. The tag do not display in the output.

html cannot be styled but there does exist a container for body, it is a pseudo element referenced by :root see this Q&A for details: https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1672632/?ref=app
