Property Quote by Eric Freeman
““the constructor always has a prototype property. More””

In JavaScript, every function used as a constructor automatically receives a prototype object, which serves as the shared source for properties and methods among all instances created by that constructor.
In simple terms: Constructor functions inherit a default prototype.
