In HTML form tag <form> is used to send the request to the server or for taking user input. The main purpose of the form tag is to handle the data. Everytime we interact with the server, or vice versa, the form tag is responsible for the communication between the two ends. Form tag holds the data from one end and transfers it to another end. If in html, user wants to navigate from one page to another with the current status to be saved or to submit some information or data onto another page then form tag is helpful.
Various attributes can be associated with the form tag. following are some of them.
