Which HTML element is used to define list items?

The

element is specifically designed to define list items in HTML. It is used within both ordered lists (

) and unordered lists (
) to represent individual items in the list. When creating a bulleted list (unordered) or a numbered list (ordered), each entry is encapsulated within
• tags, making it clear to the browser and the users what each item in the list is.

  For further clarity,

  is used to create a description list, where terms and their descriptions are grouped together, while

  is utilized to create an unordered list but does not define items itself. The tag does not exist in standard HTML and is therefore not applicable for defining list items. Understanding how these tags work together helps clarify the structure and organization of data in web documents.
