231,198 PointsSomeone just asked about the same thing just a few minutes ago! Here's what I said:
This is one of several semantic containers introduced in HTML5 that are intended to help organize parts of a web page based on what they are used for, and thus to simplify creating uniform styling for the site.
As defined on the MDN documentation page:
The HTML <article> element represents a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site, which is intended to be independently distributable or reusable (e.g., in syndication). Examples include: a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, or a blog entry.
