Will it matter if I don't put the <id> tag inside the <section> tag?

I placed the div tag outside the section tag. Is this code ok?

 <id>
    <section>
    <h2>About this site</h2>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed accumsan molestie ante eu pellentesque. Aenean dignissim laoreet magna, eu convallis neque faucibus et. Proin eget nulla sit amet dui cursus volutpat sed nec orci.</p>
      <figure>
      <img src="img/vr-space.jpg" alt="user experiencing space in VR">
      <figcaption>

</id>

There is no "id" tag name. But there's a property named "id" that can be used in a tag. It might look like this:

    <section id="about">

The "id" property always has an associated value, in this example it is "about".

Thank you, that makes sense. It is a property of a tag that's why it should be inside an element. I explored using it outside the section tag earlier and did not work. That explains it.
