It looks circular because of term overloading.
There is "the tidyverse" which is a collection of packages like dplyr and tidyr for data manipulation and ggplot2 for visualization.
Then there's "the tidyverse package" which allows you to import them all at once with "library(tidyverse)". You don't have to use the tidyverse package, you can load individual libraries as you need them.
