What kind of list does the ul tag create?

The ul tag, which stands for "unordered list," is used in HTML to create a bulleted list. This type of list is characterized by its use of bullet points to indicate each item, rather than numbers or any sequential order. The items within an unordered list can be displayed with various bullet styles depending on the CSS applied, but the fundamental attribute of this tag is that it presents items in no specific sequence, thus effectively forming a bulleted list.

In contrast, other list types have different functions: a numbered list, created with the ol tag, displays items with numbers in a specific sequence; a description list, formed using the dl tag, pairs terms with descriptions; and a definition list also uses the dl tag to define terms or concepts. Each of these serves a unique purpose that distinguishes them from the unordered list's simple presentation of items.
