I'm lerning kanji using WaniKani and a set of cards for Ankidroid for offline use. They are giving these weird names to kanji and radicals and I was wondering if those were correct? I feel like I'm learning the wrong names for these characters or their meaning... This is just one example. I came across another one called "mohawk". That doesn't make sense to me. Or am I missing something? Is it a learning technique?

To me it helps make sense of the kanji later if I understand the radicals correctly.

I was able to guess some of them right off the bat lol.
