it signifies 10 yards from the penalty spot so the players know where the need to stand when a penalty is being taken

It marks the distance from the penalty spot to the arc, 10 yards. At all free kicks, players must be 10 yards away from the ball. Because the penalty spot is a fixed point on the field of play, an arc can be drawn from it. Obviously you don't have to draw the full circle because players are not allowed in the penalty-box during a penalty.

the semi circle at the edge of the penalty box is used when a penalty is taken. apart from the penalty taker, all other players must stay 10 yards away from the spot kick which the semi circle is located.

It's not a semi circle, it is part of a circle, the center of which is the penalty spot. It sets the minimum distance from the penalty spot during a spot kick.

It's reserved space for future versions of football, when various items will be installed such as snake-pits, trampolines and kebab vans.
