A panel is the top, bottom or left or right portion of the screen where you can add widgets. In example widgets to show list of current opened windows or time and date or a tray icon area. When I connected a tv as a secondary screen, it didn’t have any panel. So I created a panel and added only necessary widgets I need on this particular screen. I use my tv sometimes to watch films or documentaries in example, from a different place than my main monitor. These panels are very customizable. The documentation at userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Panels is a bit basic, but explains what panels are. A KDE developer did a video What’s Your Favorite KDE Panels Layout? talking for 15 minutes about this topic.
