I do not understand that why 'Meta tags don’t have a closing tag.' and seem this is not explained in the video.

HTML has some tags that are considered self-closing tags. These generally are media types. Another tag that is like this is the image tags. The majority of tags do need closing tags though. Hope that helps add some clarification.
