But the stack refers to the number of calling functions, stacked upon one another too? This is why its always stack, disregard the structure.. cause its a mirror of the program running, and the usual c program uses functions.

Well, the term is overloaded. C has recursion so an implementation needs something like a call stack, but you don't have to store it in a stack datastructure.
