This should help. You do not have to use the tbody/thead/tfoot elements in your tables, but they can be useful for different situations. Happy Coding!

<table></table>

The table tag is the opening tag for the entire table. It can be considered the parent element.

<thead></thead>

The table head tag will always display as the top row when it is within a table.

<tbody></tbody>

The table body will display as the middle section of the table, regardless of where you place the tags within the parent table element.

<tfoot></tfoot>

The table foot element will place the row at the bottom of the parent table element.
