Though the impact of magnetic anisotropy on antiferromagnetism is manifested in spin-flop transition, understanding the preservation of this transition in weak anisotropy remains elusive. By adopting an anisotropic spin model, we find that the spin-flop transition remains intact in extremely weak anisotropy, with a mere 0.12% of interlayer exchange interaction at 33 K, slightly below the Néel temperature of 38 K. We further establish a direct relationship between the visualized spin arrangements and the progressive reversal of magnetic torque in rotating magnetic fields. Our analysis provides valuable insights for exploring novel phenomena in the realm of low-dimensional magnetism.
