Just like inbound links where anchor text is helpful for your site; same applies for interlinks too. Anchor text emits few more information about the link which acts like a mouse over information. Beside from readers point of view anchor texts also helps search engines to trigger your content for pointed links; and it helps search engine bots to crawl and index your web pages in a better way.
