label

The <label> element allows you to assign a label to an input field. The 'for' attribute improves the user experience, especially with assistive technologies.

textarea

The <textarea> is a field for multiline text input. Ideal for messaging interfaces or longer user inputs.

select and option

With <select> and <option> elements, you can create a dropdown list where the user selects one or more predefined options.

fieldset and legend

The <fieldset> groups form elements together. The <legend> provides a title for the group, helping users understand its purpose.
