What is the role of CSS in creating a dropdown menu in PHP web development?

CSS plays a crucial role in creating a dropdown menu in PHP web development by styling the menu items, defining their position, and controlling their visibility. By using CSS, we can customize the appearance of the dropdown menu to match the overall design of the website. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .dropdown {
            position: relative;
            display: inline-block;
        }

        .dropdown-content {
            display: none;
            position: absolute;
            background-color: #f9f9f9;
            min-width: 160px;
            box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
            z-index: 1;
        }

        .dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
            display: block;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="dropdown">
    <button>Dropdown</button>
    <div class="dropdown-content">
        <a href="#">Link 1</a>
        <a href="#">Link 2</a>
        <a href="#">Link 3</a>
