A descendant is a child, grandchild, great-grandchild, and so on.With jQuery you can traverse down the DOM tree to find descendants of an element.
Two useful jQuery methods for traversing down the DOM tree are:
The children() method returns all direct children of the selected element.
This method only traverse a single level down the DOM tree.
The find() method returns descendant elements of the selected element, all the way down to the last descendant.
