Overview

A Text Area is an input element designed for users to enter larger amounts of text, typically spanning multiple lines. Unlike a standard text field, which is usually limited to a single line, a Text Area provides more space, making it ideal for longer inputs such as comments, descriptions, or messages.

They may also include features like placeholders, character limits, and formatting options. Text Areas are commonly used in forms, feedback sections, and any interface where extended text input is required.
