Why add anchor elements inside the li element?

What is the purpose? <header class="main-header"> <h1 class="main-logo"><a href="#">Logo</a></h1> <ul class="main-nav"> <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li> </ul> </header>

Thanks

The anchor elements make the text inside of your list items hyper links. Using a "#" is something you can use to make a hyper link still act like one on your page, without having to have an actual link to a web page.
