CSS Inheritance

Web Development

CSS Inheritance is the mechanism by which certain style properties, like font-family or color, are automatically passed down from a parent element to its children unless explicitly overridden. Developers use this behavior to reduce repetitive styling by setting shared properties once on a parent or the document root. Not all CSS properties are inheritable by default—layout properties like margin and padding are not—which developers need to understand when structuring stylesheets.
