doubt in jsp root

[V Gala]

say true or false
A JSP document (i.e. in XML syntax) must start with the root tag

I think it is false

You are right. It's false.
<jsp: root> is optional.
Below is from the jsp 2.o spec

A JSP document may or not have a <jsp:root> as its top element; <jsp:root>
was mandatory in JSP 1.2, but we expect most JSP documents in JSP 2.0 not to
use it.
