In this contexr, curly braces are merely part of the CSS Syntax that seperate CSS properties and values from their selector. Think of them as parentheses with a belt on them {} not ().

selector {
      property: value;
}

Sí, esos son los que por acá en Ecuador llamamos llaves, aunque puede variar. Entiendo que te refieres a eso, pero si te refieres a su función, no dudes en comentar. Saludos
