Why HTML is known as front-end language?
HTML
Hypertext Markup Language is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets and scripting languages such as JavaScript
It is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content.
It is just one part or a piece of a web development. (You can say it as a one item in a recipe to prepare a big stuff like website!)
How does it work?
HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site author — these are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and viewed through a browser, like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This browser reads the file and translates the text into a visible form, hopefully rendering the page as the author had intended. Writing your own HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision. You can use anything from a rudimentary text-editor to a powerful graphical editor to create HTML pages.

<html>
<head>

<body>
<h1>Write Your First Heading</h1>
<p>Write Your First Paragraph.</p>
