When visitors follow links to or from your site they are expecting certain content to be available to them once they get to that page. Broken links are not only bad for user experience but can also be harmful to your site's loving relationship with Google, i.e. your SEO. Avoid linking out to broken content, and also avoid having pages on your site that are broken.

Yes true. too many broken links cause poor indexing of the website also it cause poor ranking of the keywords that you are going to target.
Broken links occur when a web page contains a link to another site, but the link no longer exists. These types of links are often referred to as dead links. When a website owner adds a link to their site, they should make sure that the link works before adding it to their site. If a link does not work, then search engines may view it as a broken link. A broken link could cause a penalty if enough time passes without fixing the issue.
Broken links can destroy your conversion rates. They indirectly harm SEO by affecting bounce rate, time on site, and how you pass link juice. Broken links may also directly harm SEO rankings by sending signals that your website is old and outdated. FrencO LTD, Leading Data Driven Growth Agency (https://frencoltd.com/)
