Example?

Because there can be elements which are parents of other elements.

For example:

<ol id="mylist">
  <li>...</li>
  <li>...</li>
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li>...</li>
      <li>...</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ol>

So <li> is a child of <ol> but there are also <li> elements which are
children of <ul>.

if you want to define a style for those <li> elements which children of
<ul> but not <ol>, you can define this as following:

ul > li {
}

Or you need a rule which styles only elements which are inside an <ul>
element which is a child of <li> inside <ol>:

ol > li > ul > li {
}

And you can also style all elements which are children of <ol> with tge
ID "mylist", no matter if "direct" children or just somewhere inside the
hierarchy:

ol#mylist li {
}
