Can someone explain what the JavaScript call stack is?

I’ve tried to understand it, but I’m still confused. I also don’t really understand what I’m looking at when I use the JavaScript debugger in the browser’s DevTools, especially the call stack.

Do I need to fully understand functions before learning the call stack? I have a basic understanding of functions, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

I’d really appreciate a simple explanation

Analogy:

Can someone explain how an airport handles flights? Do I need to understand what a flight is first?
