what does 'checked' do?

Hi,

In this part Mr. Kenneth puts 'checked' inside the input element and in between the if blocks, could someone please elaborate on what it does specifically, I am not familiar with this JinJa2 syntax but I believe it has to do something with the CSS

Thank you!

<input type="radio" id="{{ color }}" name="colors" value="{{ color }}"
{% if saves.get('colors') == color %}checked{% endif %}>
 <label for="{{ color }}"></label>

It looks like it's adding a checked attribute that styles what the form looks lime when the radio box in question is "checked" i.e. in focus.
