<body> Tag

This tag indicates the beginning and end of the main section of the document. The body is actually the section of the document displayed within the browser window. The <body> tag is also used to specify background color, text color, background images, and a number of advanced options.

You need to use both an opening and a closing tag:

<body> - opening tag
</body> - closing tag
