kyle mullikin It is a <div> element. "div" stands for division so it is used to divide content, however, it should be used as a last resort of nothing else semantically makes sense. For example, rather than using a <div> element to separate sections of a webpage, a <section> element can be used instead.

Let me know if you have any questions.
