Essentially href fetches an external source, and often needs to be fetched before loading the site, such as the stylesteef, which is why: <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Whereas the src= is loaded in the order it is placed in the HTML, which is why you want to load things like JS scripts at the bottom of your HTML, so the site loads before the scripts, to make the page as fast as possible :-)
