well...... href is created with the tag <a> (you do know it) links(not clickable) are placed inside the head tag (always) and usually describes the relationship eg( <link rel="yourDoc.css"/> to fetches css mostly) between current document and another document while... anchors (clickable)eg (<a href="https://www.google.com"> google</a>) are placed inbetween the <body> tag to access resources from same/or another webpage...

href is a hyperlink reference -> a reference to a file. This can be a link or an absolute or relative path. rel further classifies the use of the file, e.g. as stylesheet.

ehm @Roy in xhtml standard you link to a Css file using <link rel="stylesheet" href="<path or link>/style.css" /> So your first assumption using ahref only in the <a> tag is wrong.
