The HTML <caption> element is used for labeling tables and plays a crucial role in web accessibility. Unlike the <summary> attribute which provides non-visible descriptions, the <caption> element is directly associated with tables, improving the experience for screen reader users. The CSS property caption-side can adjust the positioning of captions, but may affect accessibility if visual and source orders conflict. Best practices suggest using headings with captions to enhance user experience, particularly for screen reader users.
