The initial value of each CSS property has different meanings for inherited and non-inherited properties.
For inherited properties, the initial value is used, for the root element only, when no value is specified for the element.
For non-inherited properties, the initial value is used, for any element, when no value is specified for the element.
It could also refer to the default value of the property.
