Answer 2

Since you tag your question "css", I'm going to assume you are asking about the <link> tag, the MDN definition is as follows:

As for the <a> tag the definition from w3 organization is as follows:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#adef-href

Many terms are used by people to describe a full form of href, but most agreed that it is used for definition of external resources URL/reference. Some call it Hyperlink Reference, Hypertext Reference, Hypertext Link Reference etc.
