But can't find the "call stack" in the ECMAScript document.

"But can't find [a term] in the ECMAScript document." - that doesn't mean anything. The specification often uses weird or custom terminology. It's not supposed to be a documentation for the JavaScript programmer. – Bergi Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 13:51

Сall Stack and Execution Stack are different names for the same thing. It is a LIFO stack that is used to store execution contexts created during code execution.

Wikipedia says: "This kind of stack is also known as an execution stack, program stack, control stack, run-time stack, or machine stack" https://en.wikipedia/wiki/Call_stack

One more quote: "In reality, the JavaScript engine creates what’s called an “Execution Stack” (also known as the “Call Stack”)." https://tylermcginnis./ultimate-guide-to-execution-contexts-hoisting-scopes-and-closures-in-javascript/
