The Image map is used to create interactive and clickable areas within an image on a web page. It enhance the user experience by providing a visually appealing way to navigate or interact with content directly through images.

The Image map is a type of image that contains one or more clickable areas. These clickable areas, known as "hotspots," are defined using coordinates on the image. Each hotspot can trigger different actions when clicked. Image maps are often used in web applications where images represent navigational elements, such as maps, diagrams, or complex graphics.
