The <data> tag is an HTML5 tag that is used to represent a value that is not intended to be displayed on the web page but is intended to be used for machine-readable data.

The <data> tag can contain any type of content, including text, numbers, and dates, and it can also have attributes like value to specify the value of the data. The <data> tag is a semantic tag, which means it provides meaning and context to the content it contains.
