tag < img > :
Definition and Usage
The <img> tag defines an image in an HTML page.
The <img> tag has two required attributes: src and alt.
Note: Images are not technically inserted into an HTML page, images are linked to HTML pages. The <img> tag creates a holding space for the referenced image.
Tip: To link an image to another document, simply nest the <img> tag inside <a> tags.
