The ID attribute isn't tied to lists at all. It's used as a unique identifier for targeting specific HTML elements with scripts or CSS.

Using IDs can empower your list items with additional functionality, like styling them uniquely or applying JavaScript logic, but they aren't mandatory for the list to work.

Use an ID if you need to perform specific actions on an element; otherwise, a class works for grouping similar items.

Think of IDs as more specific than classes. They let you pinpoint a unique element in the HTML DOM, which is useful for overriding CSS when there's a conflict.

Nope, you only need an ID for an element if you intend to refer to it specifically in your code or styles.
