What is the purpose of the <link> element in HTML?

The <link> element connects external resources to the document.

The <link> element in HTML is used to link external resources, such as stylesheets, to the document. It is typically placed within the <head> section and is essential for including CSS files, favicons, and other linked resources. The <link> element does not display content directly but provides metadata about the document or links to external files that affect the document's presentation or behavior.

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico">
</head>
