Hi, yes the section element is between the body. Looks like this:

<section> <h1>Title goes here</h1> <p>Some text goes here</p> </section>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset='utf-8'>
    <title>blah</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>

  </body>
</html>

Section element is used for separating important parts of your page. Imagine you have a single page website and you want to separate main content, about, and contact sections a section tag could be used. It also helps with keeping your html easier to read and more semantic.
