iCloud storage is space that is being used on Apple’s servers for backups, iCloud photos, syncing files, etc. It has nothing to do with device storage which is the storage capacity on the device. See this for more information.

If this doesn’t help, or you have any specific confusion, then just say.
Basic iCloud storage is 5 GB. If you need more you can increase it to 50GB for 99¢ a month. There are also larger amounts available for higher monthly charges. Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud - Manage Storage to see how your iCloud storage is being used, and how much is available.
