A trust anchor is a CA certificate or more precisely, the public verification key of a CA used by a relying party as the starting point for path validation. A root certificate is a digital certificate that belongs to the issuing Certificate Authority.

They act as middle-men between the protected root certificates and the server certificates issued out to the public. There will always be at least one intermediate certificate in a chain, but there can be more than one. Server Certificate.
