The word 'Stack' is taken directly from English and literally means 'stack' or 'pile'. In German, it is used almost exclusively as a technical term in specific fields.

You can almost always recognize the meaning of 'Stack' from context. In conversations about programming, it refers to the data structure; in gaming, to a stack of items; and in geography, to a rock formation.

'der Keller' and 'der Stack' can both have to do with storing things, but they do not mean the same thing. A 'Keller' is a room in the lower part of a building, often underground. It is where you store things like boxes, tools, or drinks. A 'Stack' is a pile or bundled amount of identical things, especially in computer games. Learners might confuse the words when the topic is stored items in general. In practice: 'der Keller' is the place, while 'der Stack' is the amount or pile.
