Is an anchor like a stem holding down a plant?
Not really. The stem supports the rest of the plant. The analogy of an anchor should be referring to the plant's root system. The roots anchor the plant to the ground. The stem could be likened to the anchor chain that fastens the anchor to the boat, although an anchor chain has nothing to do with transporting water and nutrients.
What is vessel turning radius?
The turning radius of a vessel is a mathematical computation used to determine the turning circle of the vessel during anchoring in order to check if the anchor is dragging. It can be computed by adding the length of the anchor chain to the overall length of the vessel and subtracting the length between bridge and aft.
