The HTML <caption> Element (or HTML Table Caption Element) represents the title of a table. Though it is always the first descendant of a <table>, its styling, using CSS, may place it elsewhere, relative to the table.

Usage note: 
When the <table> element that is the parent of this <caption> is the only descendant of a <figure> element, use the <figcaption> element instead.
