Why do we need to make positioning of a parent of an element "relative" if we want to position that element "absolute"?

Question

Positioning

Answer 1

Because relative will mark the boundary point for absolute element . If you will do absolute without making parent relative then the absolute element will look for a relatively or positioned element above his parent element and position itself relative to it , if there is no such element then it will position itself relative to body element.
