Question

what is the use of an IMG src tag?

I want the answer in short

Answer 1

It creates a holding space for the referenced image.

Answer 2

The <img> tag defines an image in an HTML page. The <img> tag has two required attributes: src and alt. Note: Images are not technically inserted into an HTML page, images are linked to HTML pages. The <img> tag creates a holdingspace for the referenced image.
