To target a specific cell in a table with CSS, the ______ pseudo-class can be particularly useful.

The :nth-child() pseudo-class in CSS is extremely useful for targeting specific elements based on their position in a list or a sequence. For instance, in a table, you can use :nth-child() to target a specific cell or a row. This provides a high degree of control in styling tables without adding extra classes or IDs to the table elements.
