I think by using href we may provide a link to other URL but src is more specified about the think like some library or any file etc.,on the web or the computer

src SHOWS something from anywhere (images from your desktop, videos from YouTube, etc.) <img src="images/photo.jpg" alt="photo"> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kkytzD30nJ8"> href provides a link to other website or element <... href="http://www.github.com"> <... href="css/styles.css">

src is used for providing the source location from where the file or image can be linked in our HTML page
