About

The Nether Portal block is a game-structure element that forms when players build and ignite the obsidian frame connecting the Overworld to the Nether. It cannot be broken and collected like a normal block, it is not diggable and has no physical item form in standard gameplay.

Attempting to use the give command will fail because the block is not a valid item. If you need to teleport players or test dimensional behavior on a server, use teleport commands instead. The portal's existence is tied to the frame itself; destroying the obsidian removes the portal automatically.
