What does the content between <span> tags do in .webpart files?

I'm working with .webpart files. I have one .webpart that has span tags within property. I'm wondering if the content within span tags would show up in the UI? Can I delete all the span tags without any impact?An example is shown below:

    <property name="ViewFlag" type="string" />
        <property name="FireInitialRow" type="bool">True</property>
        <property name="TitleUrl" type="string" />
        <property name="NoDefaultStyle" type="string" />
        <property name="ListName" type="string" null="true" />
        <property name="AllowEdit" type="bool">True</property>
        <property name="SummaryLinkStore" type="string">

&lt;div title="_sersion" id="_3"&gt;
      &lt;div title="_links"&gt;
        &lt;div title="_link"&gt;
          &lt;span title="_title"&gt;Frequently Asked Ops &lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_order"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_begincolumn"&gt;True&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_linkurl"&gt;
            &lt;a href="/EnglishToolkit/2.0 Pre Go-Live/2.6 Launch FAQs/2.6 loySpanish.pdf"&gt;/English/lobal/Documents/HR Communication/2.0 Pre/2.6 Launch FAQs/2.6 ployee_FAQs_Global_Spanish.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_style"&gt;Default&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_openinnindow"&gt;True&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div title="_link"&gt;
          &lt;span title="_title"&gt;HR Maps&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_order"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_begincolumn"&gt;False&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_linkurl"&gt;
            &lt;a href="global/Documents/HR Process Maps"&gt;/English/Documents/HR Process Maps&lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span title="_style"&gt;substring-before-last&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;

Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your reply!

It does the same as in regular HTML pages.

The html code is shown "somewhere". Either in the view of this webpart while viewing it in Sharepoint or another compatible viewer, or in another webpart's view.

Your screenshot reveals some of its content. But you maybe did not notice, that, before the very first <div title="_sersion" id="_3"> in your image there is an opening property tag. The closing one would be somewhere outside of the contents the screenshot shows. Hence this SummaryLinkStore property's content is all the html and is probably shown somewhere else.

So it depends on your personal judgement if the content is needed or not. Which is why your question is a bit of misleading in the first place, and depends on opinion. According to the guidelines questions on opinions should not be asked.
