the doctype should be included. however, html is not a very strict language and browsers will interpret the document even if it has invalid html. Thus modern browsers will most likely interpret it correctly even if you do not include it

The html doctype is use to let the browser know about your html version with which you made your webpage. And it is important to use it.
