Even if they're not pointing to your homepage, they still show search engines that your content is useful. That link juice can spread through your site via internal links and make other pages, including your homepage, stronger. Plus, having links to inner pages makes it easier for search engines to find all your content and figure out what your site is about.

Yes, backlinks to inner pages can definitely help the overall rank of a website. From my experience, when an inner page gets a good backlink, it not only improves that page's ranking but can also pass some authority to your homepage and other pages through internal links. Things that worked for me were linking new articles to strong existing pages and making sure each page has useful content so backlinks feel natural.
