why are there '#' in form attributes

When using forms. why put '#' for the keys? Any special reason?

$form['a'] = array(
        '#type' => 'textfield',
        '#title' => t('Score if not chosen'),
      );

In Drupal, it's a convention to add a hash tag (#) to the beginning of variable names that correspond to a setting, rather than an element. This is done to avoid namespace collisions.
