Selectors and style declarations are what CSS syntax is all about.
CSS syntax
CSS syntax consists of two parts selectors and style declarations.
The function of selectors is to select the elements to which the CSS style will be applied.
The function of the declaration part is to declare the CSS style inside curly braces that will be applied to the selected elements.
A property and value pair inside curly braces separated by colons is called a CSS declaration, whereas multiple CSS declarations are separated by semicolons inside the same curly braces.

Explain Code
Here, p is a selector that selects the HTML elements to which you want to apply the style.
color is a CSS property and red is the property's value, font-style is a CSS property and italic is one of the property's values.
Curly braces { } are mandatory to enclose all CSS code.
