HTML document root

Hi there, one of my challenge is that I have to create the HTML element that will serve as the document root

out of these codes: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Balazs Szilagyi | Tour organizer</title> </head> <body> <header> <h1>Balazs Szilagyi</h1> <h2>Tour organizer</h2> </header> <section> <p>Here goes the gallery.</p> </section> <footer> <p>Ā© Balazs Szilagyi 2014</p> </footer> </body> </html>

Basically what the question is asking you is to open and close you html element.

so 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>

</html>

Those <html></html> tags serve as the document root, all your code is specified inside the html element.
