What's up, software.
The data structure - Stack(LIFO), and Stack in Java are two completely different things.
In general, explain in an accessible language what are stack and heap when programming?
I'm so confused that I can't adequately formulate the question.

There is some confusion. Many programming languages have call stacks and memory heaps. They are rather indirectly related to the data structures of the same name. And if the call stack is really similar to LIFO in terms of device, then the memory heap has little in common with the FIFO data structure.

No. One and the same, LIFO implementation and nothing more. What exactly is bothering you? That the stack on the basis of the list is made?
