Naked anchor text is just a URL pasted into the copy from the browser bar—but it is clickable! You might see links like this if someone adds references at the bottom of their article and includes your link as a source.
They aren’t pretty, but Google likes naked anchors because they are far less likely to imply someone is trying to use spammy practices to rank for a keyword.
