Answer 1

The tag provides a container for content that is equivalent to a figure or diagram in a book. It can be used to group a caption with one or more images, a block of code or other content.

In other words, enables us to work more freely, realistically with images, diagrams by enabling to group them & caption one or images with a single caption.
