Why is there a <noscript> tag in React?

I am new to react and am running a simple application (following tutorial at https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html and modifying code for my own project).

I see a

<noscript>
You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.
</noscript>

in my HTML, not sure if that is breaking something or why it is there. Any help is appreciated, I can give code samples if necessary but I have no idea where the noscript is coming from

Anything within <noscript></noscript> tags will render only when JavaScript is disabled or the browser doesn't support JavaScript.

Definition and Usage:

  • The <noscript> tag defines an alternate content for users that have disabled scripts in their browser or have a browser that doesn't support script.
  • The <noscript> element can be used in both <head> and <body>.
  • When used inside the <head> element: <noscript> must contain only <link>, <style>, and <meta> elements.
