<!DOCTYPE html> - This is a declaration that tells the browser, that this is an HTML5 Document.
<html> - The document root element of the page that serves as container for other elements.
<head> - This element serves as a container for information (meta data) about the HTML page.
<title> - This element contains the title of the document, which is usually seen in browser's title bar. It is coded inside the <head> tag.
<body> - This is the element that serves as a container for everything that will be visible on the web page such as: headings, paragraphs, links, images etc.
<h1> - This element is used to define first/biggest heading
<p> - This element is used to define paragraph

TIP:

All the elements above are usually called Boilerplate (the major structure of an HTML page).
