Stacks are a new feature in Mac OS X Leopard that allow you to access frequently used files directly from the Dock. Stacks can be created by dragging any folder to the right side of the Dock. Clicking a stack will display its contents in either a fan or grid layout. Files can be added or removed from stacks by dragging them in and out. The Documents and Downloads stacks are pre-made for organizing common file types.
