→What are Desktop Panels
On a newly installed Ubuntu system there are two panels configured by default. These appear at the top and bottom of the desktop respectively. The top panel contains the main desktop menus and a number of status areas with information such as the system date and time:

The bottom panel contains the trash can, access to the various virtual workspaces and also has a button representing each application currently running within the context of the current workspace.
