Stack settings is to set what kind of language and the version of it that you want to use.App Service support six kind of language stacks: ASP.NET Core Node.js PHP Python Java Ruby. If you create on windows, there are 5 stacks can selected on portal(.NET .NET Core PHP Python Java). If you choose linux, there are 7 stacks can selected on portal(Ruby Node PHP .NET Core Java8 Java11 Python).

It looks like you create a app service on windows OS, so after initial web app creation, there isn’t a need to identify that an app is a .NET Core app anymore because the .NET Core bits are already installed on the underlying worker. You can have a look of this Offical doc to learn more about Azure App Service Configuration.
