Workspace - A Slack workspace is made up of named channels and direct messages
Channel - Channels are dedicated spaces that organize conversations. 
Direct Message (DMs) - Smaller conversations in Slack that happen outside of channels. They can be one-to-one, or include up to nine people. DMs work well for one-off conversations that don’t require an entire channel of people to weigh in.
