So it depends on how you would like to configure meta tags in your website.
How to Add the Meta Description Tag for the Front Page
In this section, we’ll see how you could add the meta description tag only on the homepage.
Head over to the Settings > Meta Tag Manager > Custom Meta Tags section, click on the + Add Meta Tag button, and configure the meta description tag as shown in the following screenshot.
Click on the Save Changes button to save your changes.
Go ahead and check the source code of your front page (Control-U in Chrome), and you will see the following meta tag added by the Meta Tag Manager plugin!<meta name="description" content="Just another WordPress site" />
