Does The <body> code need to be closed with </body>? Or is it also an "open-ended tag"?

Was looking at the workspace and it was bothering me to see that the <body> code didn't seem to have a closing bracket or whatever the correct term is. Is this also an "open-ended tag" similar to images or am I missing something?

Yes, the body element needs a closing tag.
