Doctype stands for Document Type Declaration. It informs the web browser about the type and version of HTML used in building the web document. This helps the browser to handle and load it properly. While the HTML syntax for this statement is somewhat simple, you must note each version of HTML has its own rules.

doctype stand for "Document type", This empty tag defines which version of HTML is to be parsed. Though it is not must to declare document type, It is good practise if you declare the document type.

The Doctype is very important, so the web browser can understand the HTML version to use or render. Source: https://recursivos.com/html/introduccion/

its important because it instruct the browser about the version of html , if you omit the doctype so actually it doesn't matter but some browser can not render html page properly. conclusion : its important but omitting doctype deos not generate error.

The DOCTYPE declaration is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the page is written in. This ensures that the web page is parsed the same way by different web browsers. In HTML 4.01, the DOCTYPE declaration refers to a document type definition (DTD).
