Explanation:
The Document Object Model (DOM) is an API interface which treats an HTML document as a tree-like structure, where each node represents an object. It allows for manipulation of the HTML document, allowing for the creation, modification, and deletion of elements and their attributes. It is useful for creating dynamic webpages and applications.
