Can someone explain what is Anchor in simple words?

Hi,
This should be used when a reliable selector is not available.It is more efficient when your unable to find the particular field on the UI Element so in that case you choose to find the relative element which helps the UiPath to identify the element next to your relative element.
*You can use delay (F2) while recording to avoid using anchor base and click on the field .

Please go through this for more reference.
