The HTML <base> element specifies the base URL to use for all relative URLs in a document. There can be only one <base> element in a document.

Routing or URL rewriting with base tag
Let's say you are located at:
www.domain.com/folder/subfolder/
Now if in your index.html file, you have the anchor tag to redirect to test.html as -
<a href="test.html">Click here</a>
Then this anchor will be regular anchor and will leads to
www.domain.com/folder/subfolder/test.html
Now if you will add base tag in your index.html's head tag as -
<base href="http://www.domain.com/" />
Then your same anchor
<a href="test.html">Click here</a>
now will lead to
www.domain.com/test.html
With all that being said, I highly recommend you keep learning!
