An html element with runat="server" will be parsed into a server control 
in the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls namespace.

These are server controls that directly correspond to the html elements 
that will end up in the final page. It gives you access to the 
properties of the control from the server code, but it doesn't add the 
rich functionality of the web controls. A control like this does not 
require a form with runat="server" to work.

A server control with the asp: prefix will be parsed into a server 
control in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.

These are rich controls that can use ViewState to retain values between 
postbacks, and offer you events to handle the result of the user 
actions. A web control might not exactly correspond to a single html 
element in the page, but may render several elements, or even none at 
all. A web control that uses ViewState has to be placed in a form with 
runat="server".
