How could we say it is a "object" by the definition?

The Object is a noun or a pronoun that receives an action in a sentence. There are three types namely Diect object,Indirect object and Object of a preposition.

Both direct object and indierct obect receives the action in a sentence. But I have a doubt in "object of a preposition". If there is no receiving action in "the object of the preposition" then how could we say it is a "object" by the definition?

The 'action' is metaphorical. The noun object of a preposition orients the position, direction, etc., which the preposition represents.
