    Rows control **vertical layout**.
    
    ## Example
    ```css
    .container {
      display: grid;
      grid-template-rows: 80px auto 60px;
    }
    ```
    
    ## UI imagination
    - Header: 80px
    - Content: flexible
    - Footer: 60px
    
    ## Real-world example
    Almost every website page.
    
    ## Important note
    Avoid fixed height unless necessary.
