What Wikipedia says

A wall plug (UK English) also known as an anchor (US) or rawlplug (UK), is a fibre or plastic (originally wood) insert used to enable the attachment of a screw in a material that is porous or brittle, or that would otherwise not support the weight of the object attached with the screw.
