In electronics - it's a socket that has a thread on the outside - so that a plug with the same thread can be screwed into it, thus preventing accidental removal. One example would be the connector in your house for cable TV. The box on the wall has a threaded 'stud' socket - into which is screwed a plug, attached to the cable which goes to your TV.

Where do you attach tow rope to Toyota Echo?

There is a threaded socket at the front of the car near the lower grill on the drivers side. There is a plastic cover piece over the area that can be removed by squeezing it. The large metal eye bolt in the trunk (under the carpet near the spare tire) can screw into this threaded socket. Similarly, I believe the eye bolt can screw into a socket in the lower rear of the car, which can then be used for emergency towing or to pull someone else out of something.
