Why my post method doesn't work in Laravel?

Question

I've created a form in Laravel to submit registration data to database. I've done this identically as other form in other view that works. Checked for typo's but still when I press submit button, nothing happens.

HTML of form in 'registrations/create.blade.php'

<form method="POST" action="{{route('registrations.store')}}"></form>
<div class="container">
    <p>Prašome užpildyti visus laukus.</p>
    <hr>
    @csrf

    <label for="vardas"><b>Vardas</b></label>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Įveskite savo vardą" name="vardas" required>

    <label for="pavarde"><b>Pavardė</b></label>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Įveskite savo pavardę" name="pavarde" required>

    <label for="el_pastas"><b>El. paštas</b></label>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Įveskite savo el. paštą" name="el_pastas" required>

    <label for="tel_nr"><b>Telefono nr.</b></label>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Įveskite savo telefono nr." name="tel_nr" required>

    <b>Pasirinkite norimą gitaros mokytoją</b><br><br>
    <input type="radio" name="mokytojas_id" value="1"> Petras Petrauskas<br>
    <input type="radio" name="mokytojas_id" value="2"> Andrius Rimiškis<br>
    <input type="radio" name="mokytojas_id" value="3"> Virgis Stakėnas<br>
    <hr>
    <button type="submit" class="registerbtn"><b>Registruotis</b></button>
</div>
</form>

class Registration extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['vardas', 'pavarde', 'el_pastas', 'tel_nr', 'mokytojas_id'];
}

<?php

public function index()
{
    //$questions = DB::select('SELECT * FROM questions');
    //$questions = Question::orderBy('id','desc')->take(1)->get();
    //$questions = Question::orderBy('id','desc')->get();

    $registrations = Registration::orderBy('id','desc')->paginate(10);
    return view ('registrations.index')->with('registrations', $registrations);
}

/**
 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function create()
{
    return view('registrations.create');
}

/**
 * Store a newly created resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function store(Request $request)
{

    $request->validate([
        'vardas'    =>  'required',
        'pavarde'    =>  'required',
        'el_pastas'    =>  'required',
        'tel_nr'    =>  'required',
        'mokytojas_id'    =>  'required'
    ]);
    $post = $request->all();

    Registration::create($post);

    return redirect('/registrations/create')->with('status', 'Registracija atlikta!');
}

Your form tag is closed immediately.

<form method="POST" action="{{route('registrations.store')}}"></form>

Is this a type when you posted here or most probably this is the issue. Button is doing nothing since its not inside the form tag.
