A metaphor is the application of one thing related to a domain to another domain, so, the desktop metaphor in a GUI is the representation of the GUI as a desktop, while the GUI itself is not a desktop. Indeed, using the metaphor of a desktop, we can assume that we can put things over the desktop, we can have a recycle bin and a document folder connected to our desktop and so on.
