I do not see a meaningful difference between "trust anchor" and "trust root" and "root(s) of trust."  All of them:
	- Are pieces of data (certificate or key is not meaningful)
	- Used to verify something such as a certificate or signature
	- Are trusted by the application, based on actions that are "out of band" of the application itself
