Why do you use <strong></strong> in JavaScript?

I am not too familiar with HTML. I am not sure why you use the <strong></strong>? Why would you use it? Can someone please explain why?

Thanks

You would wrap any text that is important in 'strong' tags. Although this visually makes the text bold, search engines in particular view text within 'strong' tags as important.
