etherchannel is the bundle itself of using for example 3 physical ports as 1 logical interface known as a port-channel. so a bit more clarification say you want 2 interfaces fa0/1-0/2 you choose the protocl (lacp or pagp) then you select channel-group 1 in this case it will make a "virtual interface" you can say named port-channel 1. now under this interface it represents fa0/1-0/2 so any changes will be made to these two interfaces.
