Challenge task 2 of 6

I seem to be missing something for this challenge. It says create the HTML element that will serve as the document root. I entered-

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

It says make sure you define the HTML tag for the document root.

the document root of an html document is the opening and closing html tag

you are almost correct, you just need to close the html tag

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
</html>
