It means:
Body - anything after the body tag will appear on the page.

Head Tag -
The HEAD part of the document provides information about the document. It should not contain text or normal markup.

<HEAD>Contains elements describing the document</HEAD>(nothing shows)

You put things like stylesheets, scripts, and the <title></title> tags inside the <head></head> tags.

Note that scripts can go in either the head or body tags, depending on what they do.

all webpages should have a similar layout in their coding that looks like...

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
css stuff and scripts here
</head>
<body>
content stuff here
</body>
</html>

the head area is usually a "preparation" of the page. the body is the main contents of the page.
