1,963 PointsCould not actually understand difference between Object, Embed, and Param tag. Can anybody explain it explicitly?
I checked w3schools as well.

Treehouse StaffI found this, I hope it helps:
SVG Essentials page 19 says the only official differences are that the <embed> tag swaps in src for data in specifying the source file, and that the <object> tag allows for fallback child content to display if the plugin does not exist. Apparently <embed> also has an unofficial but widely-implemented pluginspage attribute for linking to where to install the plugin. However, <object> also allows for child <param> tags to pass data ("FlashVars") into plugins, and allows for fallback text to accomplish the same thing as the unofficial pluginspage.
