<p> tag use to describe paragraph in web page. A paragraph always starts on a new line, and browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a paragraph.

With HTML, you cannot change the display by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code.

The browser will automatically remove any extra spaces and lines when the page is displayed, you can see in the above example.
