Good question, . The Trackback URL is not about keywords or tagging. It is an endpoint a blog or CMS exposes so another site can inform it that the site has been referenced. ' keyword idea is a common misconception, and was closer with the "notification" angle.

How it works in practice: when you publish a page that links to a blog post, your software can send a small notification (a trackback ping) to the target's Trackback URL containing your page title, a short excerpt, and your URL. The receiving site may then list that incoming link or hold it for moderation. Because it was widely abused by spammers, many sites moderate or disable trackbacks today. For background and implementation notes see TrackBack on Wikipedia and the WordPress guidance on trackbacks and pingbacks (they also discuss moderation) (WordPress: Trackbacks and Pingbacks).

Practical tip: if you are just saving a bookmark, you can ignore the Trackback field. If you run a blog and want to notify another site, copy the target post's Trackback URL into your blogging tool so it can send the ping. Expect moderation or rejection on many modern sites, and consider using newer methods such as Webmention for current systems (Webmention (W3C)).

Track back means I hope keywords which will be linked with your submitting URL

Trackback is one types of linkback methods for website authors to request notification
when somebody links to one of their documents.
