Explanation:

This HTML code defines a webpage with a collapsible content section using the <details> element.
Inside the <details> element, a <summary> element is used to define a visible heading for the collapsible content.
The text "w3resource" inside the <summary> tags will be displayed as the heading for the collapsible content.
Below the <summary> element, there are two <p> elements containing additional information about w3resource.
When the webpage is loaded, the content inside the <details> element will be initially hidden, and users can click on the summary to expand and view the content.
This pattern is commonly used for creating expandable sections of content, such as FAQs or additional details.
