Grounding relations, as developed by Schaffer and Rosen, are metaphysically necessary yet asymmetric: being committed to the ground does not automatically register commitment to the grounded entity via quantification alone.

Metaphysically necessary(as used in modal metaphysics): Something that must be true in all possible ways the world could be; it's not just true in our world but couldn't possibly be false in any imaginable scenario.
Quantification(logic): The part of a statement that specifies how many things you're talking about—words like 'all,' 'some,' or 'none'.
Schaffer and Rosen(as philosophical authorities on grounding): Jonathan Schaffer and Gideon Rosen are contemporary philosophers who developed and refined theories about grounding—the relationship between basic facts and the facts that depend on them.
asymmetric(as used in logic and epistemology): When two things are treated differently or unequally, rather than being balanced or fair—like giving one side of an argument more weight than the other.
