The HTML **`<table>`** tag is used to show data in a tabular presentation in the form of rows and columns. A table consists of a table header, a table body, rows, and columns. There can be more than one column in a row. We can use the `<table>` element to generate a table to show data in tabular form, with the assistance of the `<tr>`, `<td>`, and `<th>` tags.

In every table: 
* Table rows are designated by `<tr>` tags.
* The table header is designated by the `<th>` tag.
* Table data is designated by `<td>` tags.

> `<tables>` helps manage the layout of pages, such as the header section, footer section, navigation var, content, etc. However, it is good to use the `<div>` element instead of the table to manage the layout of the page.

## Syntax
```
<table> //table tag
    <head> // table header tag
        <tr>
            <th >Table_Header</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <body> // table body tag
        <tr>
            <td>Table_Body</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
```
