When driven into the ground, (the anchor point) it will keep it from slipping of shifting.

It further restricts the movement of the bar in the event the concrete fails. Think of it this way, if the bar were smooth and shiny and you were super strong, you could possibly pull the bar out. The smooth surface would offer much less resistance than if it were the irregular surface you have noticed!

The ribs on the rebar give the concrete something to hold on to.

The ribs are formed during the manufacture of rebar to help it resist the contraction and expansion of concrete in temupature change. Stabilizing to resist movement and possible cracking of the surrounding material.

the ribs help keep the concrete from moving so much if the concrete cracks or breaks ,mostly on corners and thin places.

as far as I can remember its to allow greater surface cohesion between concrete and steel by increasing the surface area of the steel

better holding power by the concrete. Can you hold on to somthing better if it is smooth or has ribs and texture to it?

They do increase the holding or gripping strength.I also feel they help in the bending process.

it there so it will not move or pull out when hard...this gives the pour the stibility it needs to be driven on and not crack so much
