what is a style tag

We're starting out with an <h1> element and a <body> element. Add a <style> element just above the <h1>.

A style tag is the tag you would use if your adding style to your hmtl page instead of having it all on your css page. here is an example

<style> body{ background-color:blue; } </style>

Your question is vague, but a style tag is a place you would write css. CSS is what you use to style(change the visual) the elements.

Jonathan and lee are correct. The style tag goes in the head section and any css found between the opening and closing style tags will be applied to that specific document.
