What does “children” mean in coding?

1

“The main element should have two paragraph elements as children” can someone please explain this to me?

I would assume we are talking specifically about HTML here, so I would use HTML as an example. Consider this:

<div>
 <p>Hello</p>
 <p>World</p>
</div>

The div element would be the parent (or main) element, while the p elements would be both children of the div element. Basically any element nested within an element is a child of that element.
