What does it mean by creating the HTML to serve as the document root? I have copied the example and it does not work.

Please help

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
<h1>Fahr Kamal</h1>

it means that you should create a html element to be the root of your file, you already created the <html> you just have to end it at the bottom of your file </html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
 <h1>Fahr Kamal</h1>
</html>
