In HTML 5, the p tag defines a paragraph of text.
When Do You Use the p Tag in HTML 5?
In HTML 5, you may use the p tag to set a section of text apart as a paragraph, just as you would in a story, or an essay. Each paragraph should have a separate thought, just like in any other writing.
The paragraph tag is usually set apart with white space before and after it in most browsers. This can be controlled with CSS. Make sure you use this tag for paragraphs of text, and not just to add white space.

<p>This a paragraph of text.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph of text.</p>
