Quick answer
A tool stack is the specific combination of apps and software someone actually relies on for their work, such as one tool each for communication, tracking money, storing files, and managing tasks.
A larger stack is not automatically better. Overlapping tools that do nearly the same job usually mean wasted subscription cost, not extra capability. See the dedicated guide on building a simple digital tool stack for a practical starting point.
