HTML5 introduces several new elements that provide more meaning to the structure of web pages. These new elements help to create a more semantically meaningful structure and improve accessibility for users. Here are some of the most critical new HTML5 elements:
<header>

The element represents a container for introductory content or navigational links. It typically contains the site logo, site title, and primary navigation.
<nav>
: The <nav>
element represents a section of a page that contains navigation links.
<section>
: The <section>
element represents a standalone section of a document, such as a chapter, tabbed content, or a widget.
<article>
: The <article>
element represents a self-contained composition in a document, such as a blog post or a forum post.
<aside>
: The <aside>
element means a section of a page containing content tangentially related to the main content, such as a sidebar or pull quotes.
<figure>
and <figcaption>
: The <figure>
the element represents a self-contained piece of content, such as an image or a video, and the <figcaption>
element provides a caption for the content in the <figure>
element.
