In the context of web development, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) offers numerous advantages over raster images, such as scalability, resolution independence, and the ability to manipulate via CSS. Styling SVG graphics becomes essential for customizing their appearance.
To style SVG graphics using external CSS, it's typically expected that the SVG code is included inline within the HTML document. However, if the SVG is stored in a separate file and referenced using an tag, external CSS will not directly affect the graphic's appearance.
