-  * stroke prop defines the color of the line drawn around the object.
-  * color is a bit special in the sense that it won't color anything by itself, but define a kind of color variable that can be reused by children elements. In this example we're defining a "green" color in the Svg element and using it in the second Path element via stroke="currentColor". The "currentColor" is what refers to that "green" value, and it can be used by other props that accept colors too, e.g. fill="currentColor".
