Textareas without labels confuse everyone—screen readers can't announce purpose, users guess intent. This React textarea uses shadcn/ui Textarea with Label component linked via htmlFor and id for proper accessibility. Built with flex-col layout and gap-2 spacing placing label above input, the labeled textarea provides clear context—perfect for comment fields, message forms, feedback boxes, note-taking interfaces, or any multi-line input where users need explicit labeling telling them what content belongs in the expandable text area.
