Answer 2

There are a difference between block elements and inline elements.span is an inline element that can be used with in paragraph tag to markup a text ,but div tag is block element or container for others tags.

Answer 3

span allow you to mark and target subpart of block elements without introducing block element (by keeping it inlined)...

<p id="my-p-id">my paragraph with <span class="my-span">marked word</span> inside</p>

so you could style it specifically with css:

#my-p-id.my-span {
color: red;
}

... and/or target it with js:

document.querySelector("#my-p-id.my-span").textContent = "sample text";
