GNOME, KDE Plasma, Mate, XFCE, etc., are all graphical desktop 
environments. Unlikemost other operating systems, Linux gives you a 
choice of desktop environments in which to run applications. It's also 
possible to run Linux without a graphical desktop environment at all, in 
a purely text mode. However, you need a desktop environment in order to 
run graphical applications such as modern Web browsers, graphical email 
clients, etc.

There are plenty of Web sites that will provide a good introduction in 
greater detail than I have offere here.
