Definition lists are collections of member definitions. The whole list is encapsulated in a DL object. Each member definition is constructed from a DT and a DD object which are maintained together.
The <DL> tag is a block-level tag. That means that it forces a line break before and after itself.
The DOM level 1 standard describes this as a DListElement object.
