The theme which is displayed when you install WordPress is called the Default theme. It is basically to show you all the features and functions of WordPress. You can add any theme according to your preferences. Besides, you can also change the layout and design of your WordPress site using the theme. Themes allow you to customize the design of your website which includes the layout, typography, colour, and other designing elements.

The First theme was created when WordPress was released in 2003. Users were not given the authority to change themes. After the stable release WordPress 1.5, users were given the authority to switch themes. The Kubrick theme was the default theme at the time of WordPress 1.5. And it was replaced by TwentyTen when WordPress 3.0 was released. Every year since 2010, WordPress releases a new default theme with the year name like TwentyFourteen, TwentyFifteen etc. But TwentyTen is the most famous one. 

Talking about the WordPress default theme, it is the first theme that you see in the front end when you initially install WordPress. It provides an amazing set of features that can be used to create a website. Moreover, the default theme also fulfils the need for a fallback theme.

The default theme though has a lot of features and used to create a basic website. It also helps when a user deletes the installed theme or something gets wrong with the installed theme. You can create your custom WordPress themes using TemplateToaster Software.
