A stack data structure is a so called last-in-first-out (LIFO) structure. You can push values onto a stack and the remove them again by popping them from the stack, and the value that was pushed on the stack most recently is the first to be popped from it again (just think of a stack of coins, where each coin that you add has to be removed again first before you can get to the rest of the coins beneath). Stacks are often used when there are interrupts to handle, or when having recursive functions, or even when constructing a rudimentary AI for your games.
The following functions exist that deal with DS Stacks.
