Hello @hsbehera5 ,

A div element is used for block-level organization and styling of page elements, whereas a span element is used for inline organization and styling.
Generally one of basic application of span tag is to use it as word-highlighter.
Suppose you want highlight a word of a sentence then you can make use of span tag.
Example : CodeLink

#highLight{
background-color: lightgreen; 
}

<p> I am Aspiring to become <span id="highLight"> Full Stack Web Developer </span>. </p>

O/P :
spanTag
