if the " background image " and the " anchor " are one thing, then why when we added the padding to the anchor, it has been applied to the text only, why the images didnt indent with the text ?!

So the padding just adds a bit of extra size between the content the content and border layer of the element.
I hope I understood you correctly and this helps you :)
