Yes.
div#sample>p {
}
selects any _child_ of #sample that is a p. This:
<div id=#sample>
<p></p>
</div>
....but not this:
<div id=#sample>
<div id="somethingElse">
<p></p>
</div>
</div>
This one:
div#sample p {
}
....selects any _descendant_ of #sample that is a p, no matter what
generation, so would select the p in both of the above examples
