Sorry about the vague wording.
The ISO image is an exact copy of the entire operating system in a specific format (which was invented for dealing with optical disks actually). As a crude analogy, think of it as a copy of a book including its cover, table of contents, and index as compared to a collection of copies of only the individual chapters.
The ISO image should be installed (aka "flashed") on a uSD card or other bootable media. My favorite tool for this is Balena Etcher. There's also the Raspberry Pi Imager and countless other programs suitable for use on various host OSes.
