rel
in this example stands for "relationship". It is not related to Normalize.css specifically. What it is doing is establishing a relationship between the linked document and the HTML document. So, in this case, the relationship
is going to be a stylesheet. There are many relationships, but this would be the most commonly used. If you want, you can read up on some of the others on MDN.
Hope that helps. Keep Coding!

2,527 Pointsthe syntax is <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> Here to establish a link for another file, naturally we have to give the location of that file and the have to state the 'relationship' between our html page and that file. In current case it is style sheet file so we are stating rel="stylesheet".
