Anchor Text

In plain words

Anchor text is the visible, clickable text of a hyperlink. Search engines use it as a signal for what the destination page is about, so descriptive, keyword-relevant anchor text (rather than generic 'click here') strengthens both internal linking structure and backlink value.

Example

“Read our guide to Core Web Vitals” tells search engines and readers what the linked page covers. “Click here” tells them nothing.
