What is link anchor text?

I've recently reading a couple of webmaster forums and I keep seeing people refer to "link anchor text". Can you tell me what it is so I won't feel like I'm in the dark?

 

<a href="link">anchor text</a>
text between the anchor tags is called the anchor text. You can use your targeted keywords in it

 

Anchor text is the text that is visible in a link to a web page
<a href=“http://[URL ]“>Link Anchor Text</a >

 

Hi Jasonmark
this term is mostly used in SEO.
Anchor text is the text between opening and closing hyperlink tag <a href=" "> and </a>
Ex:
<a href="http://www.abcd.com">efgh</a>

here www.abcd.com is the web url and efgh is the anchor text.
