So this afternoon when I was doing my grammar homework, I realised that there is 2 reasonable answers for 1 question. It is 'The world population....' and 'The world's population.....'. I asked my teacher and he said the answer was the 'the world's population', but he didn't really know why that is the answer. So I just want to figure this out. Please help me!

You should give the question so we have the context

The Ngram indicates similar usage for both expressions and no difference between AmE and BrE. (Click on 'search lots of books', please - the Ngram is being silly.)
