Answer
The <label> tag is used to render a label of an input element.
Imagine you have a form with two text fields - first name and last name. Each text field is be defined by <input type="text"/ > tag. How will the user know what to enter into each text field when it isn't labeled?
The solution is to use the <label> tag.
You could obviously use <span> but <label> is better for usability, because the screen readers can understand that <label> is labeling some field whereas <span> is understood to be just some text.
