Normal Sessile is for trees and such. Sessile (Portable) is what a rock has.

Technically true and I just reread it and it specifies anchored rather then just immovable. However we have no rules for how strong that anchor is.

I wonder if this rule would be easier to grasp if we thought of buildings instead of trees. They are far easier to group into specific sizes. How hard is it to unearth a building?

Kelp with it's holdfasts is Sessile. Trees have roots which should generally convey some additional resistance to knockback depending on the tree. If you really needed to write a character sheet for a tree you could probably just give them Resistant to Knockback +3 or +8 depending on the type of root system.
