The <th> tag defines a header cell in an HTML table. An HTML table has two kinds of cells: Header cells - contains header information (created with the <th> element) Standard cells - contains data (created with the <td> element) The text in <th> elements are bold and centered by default. The text in <td> elements are regular and left-aligned by default.

th is for the header. td is for the rest of data. but you can also use td for the header. the only difference is when you want to style the header, in th, you'll just call th and apply the style directly. in td, you'll have to add class or id before you can call the header.

<th> for table header. <td> for table columns that contains table data.
