LESS is a dynamic stylesheet language that extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations, and functions. It allows for writing maintainable and reusable CSS code, making it easier to work with large stylesheets. The LESS code is compiled to CSS code, which can be interpreted by web browsers to style the HTML content. LESS can be used with various front-end build tools and preprocessors to streamline the development process.
