Why do i not put the / before #portfolio?

When i put in the answer I am sure it must be /#portfolio but it is correct if I put #portfolio without the /. Y is that the case?

Note: I am getting a wrong answer when i put the / in

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</a></li>
      <li><a href="/#portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>
    <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>
  </body>
</html>

as portfolio id is part of the index.html you don't need /. / goes when the object is inside another folder.
