Why should <li> be contained within <ul> or <ol> parent elements?

List items such as <li> must be contained within parent <ul> or <ol>.

In this way, assistive technologies like screen readers will be able to announce them accurately: indeed, they tell the user the number of elements inside a list when they find one and if you do not write list elements correctly, they won't be able to work.
