The term “stack” refers to either the abstract data structure (not relevant for this), or to a collection of software that performs a specific function. In the case of a “USB stack”, it’s the collection of hardware, firmware, kernel modules, drivers, and user programs that allow communication over USB links.
The term “stack” is used because the software components are often layered on top of one another, each using the services of the layer(s) below it.
You may also hear about the “networking stack”, or the “LAMP stack”, or other similar phrases. Wikipedia has an article on Solution stack, which is the same idea.
