I don’t entirely follow your English, however I think the answer that you’re looking for is that a browser refers to a “User Agent Stylesheet” which tells it how to display each HTML tag. If you do a search, you should be able to find an example of the UAS that each different browser uses (they are not all the same).

@razakkhanafridi,

Do you know how to plant and grow a food crop such as a tomato or corn? Do you know how to plant and grow a flower? Do you know how to plant and grow a tree?

 
(Because of the “extreme” nature of the question, I’m fishing for a useful analogy.)
