can anyone explain me the basic of xml?

what does each single word represent in "extensive markup langauge"?
and why it is non human readable format?

    XML is a markup language that acts as a kind of buffer for either data or instructions which are embedded in <tags> to delimit the data.
    You will use an xml parser to read the file.

    These files are used by web servers and devices but not humans.

    We need software for a human to use this file in a meaningful way for example storing the data contained in an xml file into a database.

    The link below says:
    "XML is used to store data or information. This data might be intended to be by read by people or by machines. It can be highly structured data such as data typically stored in databases or spreadsheets, or loosely structured data, such as data stored in letters or manuals."
