'th' means 'Table Header', whereas 'td' means 'Table Data'.

Or something like that.

In any case, the 'th' is supposed to be used for title rows, whereas you
would use 'td' for data rows. The markup of title rows is slightly
different, and a renderer that prints out a table to paper might also
repeat the th cells on every page. Moreover, without th cells, lynx
renders a table very ugly, while it is okay if one row with th exists.
