There are ordered lists and unordered lists. If you are listing items, you need to be using one of those. There’s also a definition list but it’s not recognized by most assistive technologies.

It doesn’t need to have the bullets, but it needs to be programmatically a list so that if you’re using a screen reader it will tell you you’re on “Data tables” which is item three out of ten items.
