<apex:column> :- apex:column tag is used to create columns in visualforce page. When using <apex:column> tag  in visualforce page it always must be written between <apex:datatable> tag or <apex:pageblocktable>tag as child component. When data table is created then only we can define columns to that table so we have to create data table first.
