What does it mean by placing a content between header and footer?

What does it mean by placing a content between header and footer? I don't really get it, since i've put article, nav, and aside tags inside header and footer tag

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <header>
      <article>
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
        </article>
    </header>
  </head>
  <body>
    <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    </nav>

    <section>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 

    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </section>

    <article>
    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
     </article>
    <aside>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
    </aside>
    <footer>
     <article>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
       </article>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hi there,

On that step, the challenge is asking for you to place everything between the </header> and <footer> in a single tag. The key here is where it talks about grouping related content - it wants all of the elements between the header and footer in a <section> tag. I believe there are some unneeded tags here - article tags, for example, are really just for self-contained content, like a blog post or news article. At this point in the challenge, the html should look something like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <nav>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
          </ul>
       </nav>
       <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
       <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>

   <section>
       <h2>Welcome</h2> 
       <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
       <ul>
         <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
         <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
         <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
       </ul>
   </section>

   <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
      <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
   </footer>
  </body>
</html>

You actually don't need the <nav> tags yet either, but I left them in because the next question may or may not involve something... :)

First question header around the elements. Second question footer around the elements. Third question section around the content between header and footer. Fourth question nav around the ul in the header.
