Why do we need event.target?

Why do we even need this event.target?

It indicates anomaly indicator because we put variable name e instead of event

thus it will behave individually, not mutually each other.

then how do we even need that event.target code?

it would work just fine without using it i guess.???

it can be e, event or any name you want it doesn't matter what you named it, Event is an object and event.target contains all the properties of the selected element.
