The main difference between stack and heap is, Stack is last in first out. But heap is not related to that that concept. Heap is related to dynamic memory allocation. Heap is the area where the elements are stored in a dma. All the malloc() , realloc() and calloc() are related to dynamic memory alloction concepts.

malloc() is dynamic memory allocation. So it is stored in Heep memory.
