What is Semantic HTML?
Over the past decade, a strong and broad consensus has grown around the belief that HTML documents should only focus on the structure of the document. Information about how the content should look when it is displayed in the browser is best left to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
Thanks to share here.
Semantics is the study of the meanings of words and phrases in a language. A semantic element clearly describes its meaning to both the browser and the developer.
Some HTML Semantics:-
<article>
<aside>
<details>
<figcaption>
<figure>
<footer>
<header>
<main>
<mark>
<nav>
<section>
<summary>
<time>
Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the information in webpages and web applications rather than merely to define its presentation or look. Semantic HTML is processed by traditional web browsers as well as by many other user agents.
A semantic element clearly describes its meaning to both the browser and the developer. Examples of non-semantic elements: <div> and <span> - Tells nothing about its content. Examples of semantic elements: <form> , <table> , and <article> - Clearly defines its content.
Semantic HTML or semantic markup is HTML that introduces meaning to the web page rather than just presentation. For example, a <p> tag indicates that the enclosed text is a paragraph. This is both semantic and presentational because people know what paragraphs are and browsers know how to display them.
Semantic HTML refers to syntax that makes the HTML more comprehensible by better defining the different sections and layout of web pages. It makes web pages more informative and adaptable, allowing browsers and search engines to better interpret content.Semantic HTML, or "semantically-correct HTML", is HTML where the tags used to structure content are selected and applied appropriately to the meaning of the content.

On other side, tags like <b> and <i> are not semantic, because they define only how the text should look (bold or italic) and do not provide any additional meaning to the markup.
Examples of semantic HTML tags include the header tags <h1> through <h6>, <blockquote>, <code> and <em>. There are many more semantic HTML tags that can be used as you build a standards-compliant website.

Semantic HTML is the utilization of HTML markup to fortify the semantics, or importance, of the data in website pages and web applications as opposed to just to characterize its presentation or look. Semantic HTML is handled by conventional web browsers just as by numerous other user agents.
semantic HTML elements clearly describe it's meaning in a human and machine readable way.Quote:

Semantic element means - element with meaning.
<div> and <span> tells nothing to user and browser.
<form>, <article> etc, are the meaningful elements.
Using semantic element user and browser can understand the real meaning of the tags.
Hope it help.
Thanks!
