In CSS, when you set the flex-shrink property to 0, it means that the flex item will not shrink to fit the available space if there is not enough space in the flex container.
The flex-shrink property accepts a unitless number as its value. The higher the value, the more the flex item will shrink relative to other flex items in the container. If multiple flex items have a flex-shrink value greater than 0, they will shrink proportionally based on their individual flex-shrink values.
By setting flex-shrink: 0, you are essentially instructing the flex item to maintain its original size and not shrink. This can be useful in certain cases, such as when you want to prevent a flex item from reducing its size and potentially causing content to overflow or distort within the flex container.
