It's used to send back non-HTML content to the browser, whether that content
is dynamically generated or stored within a file on the filesystem.
On an unrelated note, it strikes me as odd that you want to use a tag for
the sake of using a tag. You'll have better success as a programmer to
instead focus on solving specific problems, using whatever tags are
necessary to do so.
