It's within this tag you put all your css classes, ID, all selectors and rules to style your webpage. Most often css styles are declared in a separated stylesheet, but sometimes you can style the page by adding styles directly within the page you are working on, using the style tag.

It's where you can put the style information for a page or part of a page. You will learn that you can use a style tag but it's better to use external stylesheets instead.

As the other 2 folks above me said, the <style></style> are essentially tag that can be used to add some flare to your actual "base" page(index.html if you are mostly starting on the videos here). You can almost entirely replace it with proper CSS use as you get more comfortable.
