Some inherit the values of their parent elements,
For Example
If you set a color and font-family on an element,
Every element inside it will also be styled with that color and font,
unless you've applied different color and font values directly to them.
Some DO NOT inherit the properties of their parent elements
For example,
if you set a width of 50% on an element,
all of its descendants do not get a width of 50% of their parent's width.
If this was the case, CSS would be very frustrating to use!
On MDN CSS property reference pages,
The "Formal definition", lists a number of data points about that property, including whether it is inherited or not.
See the color property Formal definition section as an example.
