The <section> tag defines sections in a document, such as chapters, headers, footers, or any other sections of the document. It groups together related section of content. The <article> element represents self-contained content. Examples include: a forum post, a magazine or newspaper article, or a blog entry. Anything that can make sense on its own.

Article self-contained contents meaning content that is not directly related to the main.
