The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is not an HTML tag; it is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the page is written in. In HTML 4.01, the <!DOCTYPE> declaration refers to a DTD, because HTML 4.01 was based on SGML. ... HTML5 is not based on SGML, and therefore does not require a reference to a DTD

The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration is used to inform a website visitor's browser that the document being rendered is an HTML document. While not actually an HTML element itself, every HTML document should being with a DOCTYPE declaration to be compliant with HTML standards.

a lot of people think doctype is an HTML tag but it is not the HTML tag. It is just a message or instruction to web browser about what version of HTML page that you have written.

The <!DOCTYPE represents a web browser which version is the HTML page been written in. It is declared first in the HTML document.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:Blue";>HTML Document </h1>

</body>
</html>

A document type declaration, or DOCTYPE, is an instruction that associates a particular SGML with a document type definition or XML document. In the serialized form of the document, it manifests as a short string of markup that conforms to a particular syntax.

The <!DOCTYPE> declaration must be the very first thing in your HTML document, before the <html> tag. ... In HTML 4.01, the <!DOCTYPE> declaration refers to a DTD, because HTML 4.01 was based on SGML. The DTD specifies the rules for the markup language, so that the browsers render the content correctly.
