Think to a family tree structure... the older ancestor is the html document ( to sipmplify ), called <html>. This first 'parent' contain two different part, as <head> and <body>, considered as his 'childs'. But each 'child' can be a 'parent' too, with 'childs contents'... So displaying a graph of the 'family tree' from your document, can be: <html> / \ <head> <body> / | | \ / | | \ / | \/ | \/ | \/ | \ ... Inheritance of Cascading Stlyle Sheet consist to apply attributes defined on a parent element to its childs. So, if you define a css rule as 'color:red;' for the <body> element, all its childs will have a 'color:red' by default, until another css rule override it...
