This doesnt explain what it "really" is at all. The call stack usually refers to how function calls are implemented with a stack, pushing return pointers, local variables, and arguments to the stack and popping them upon returning.

This is often very low level. Most CPUS have a dedicated stack pointer register with instructions on pushing and popping vslues and incremented/decrementing the address in that register appropriately.
