Describe your suggestion

Basically what the title says. The lesson introduces the term 'stacking context' and gives a brief example of when one is formed. However there is no explanation as to what a stacking context is, so I think the example isn't very helpful. I know there is an assignment regarding stacking contexts, but I think if the term is mentioned in the lesson it's worth giving a brief definition to readers.

Additionally, when a reader clicks on What is the stacking context? in the knowledge check section, they are brought to a MDN doc that wasn't assigned. Looking at the commit history, it looks like the MDN doc on stacking contexts was originally an assignment til it was replaced by https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/stacking-contexts/. Might be worth changing this link to the assignment for consistency.
