Descendant selectors and ID's

In this video we made the #logo ID, I understand how important ID's are and how they work, but in this case can we put a descendant selector header a { text-align: center; margin: 0; } instead of the ID logo? Thanks.

No because if you did that it would target all the anchor elements before an a the reason why the #logo is used because an id is specific to that element think of like your id number for treehouse no one else can have it so it's best to give elements that we specifically want to style an id selector and then target the anchor element that way we are applying a specific style rather than a general one that might be used in place that we don't want
