I have need to load an order item's 'purchased entity' object so that I can object the base product's title for an order item.
In my scope, I have the order_item object and, from there I have access to the 'purchased entity' ID number. But I can figure out how to load the 'purchased entity'object from this ID number.
EDIT:
Thanks to Chance G I was able to achieve what I needed by:
$product_variation = $order_item->getPurchasedEntity();
$product_id = $product_variation->product_id->getString();
$product = \Drupal\commerce_product\Entity\Product::load($product_id);
$product_title = $product->getTitle();
$order_item->getPurchasedEntity()->getProduct()->getTitle();
