querySelectorAll(' '); While writing this we need css selectors and why do we need > to refer to the child of the elemen

for example querySelectorAll(' #nav > p'); > why do we use this thing in js to refer to child of the nav id, while we don't use it when we are writing in css?

You can use it in CSS as well. > is for a direct child, but just a space is for any descendant.

This SO thread might help.
