how to Set the "Home" link to a root-relative path that navigates to index.html.

I am stuck on this question on setting the home link to a root-relative path that navigates to index.html

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Portfolio Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="../img/logo.png" alt="Site logo">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="home/index.html">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>
    <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Answer:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
...
      <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>           
...
</html>

Home (index.html) is in the root directory. Using "/" links to the beginning of the webroot (or "root") directory. Using "./" links to your current directory (relative to the current file's location), and using "../" goes up a directory (relative to current file's location).
