Hi Ubo Town,

The url() CSS function is used to include a file. The parameter is an absolute URL, a relative URL, or a data URI.

The url() function tells CSS that it needs to access an asset (such as a picture file) at the given file path.

Hopefully, that helps! Let me know if you're still unsure.
