There is an input type named submit, and that creates a submit button in the form. Like this:

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
      <form action="index.html" method="post">
          <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name" >
          <textarea id="comment" "name" name="user_comment"></textarea>
          <input type="submit" id="submit_comment" value="Submit Comment">
      </form>
  </body>
</html>
