The appropriate culinary terminology is "rib" for one piece/stick, and "stalk" for the entire thing/bunch/head. This does not reflect common usage, however, so use caution in interpreting recipes.
These terms, however, are not used consistently even by food professionals. "Celery stalk," in American English, is commonly used to mean one piece/rib/stick of celery (in British English, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems more common to say "celery stick"). Also in American English, the whole thing may be referred to as a "bunch of celery." It is sometimes also called a "head" of celery.
From my online research (after reading it in an older cookbook) it seems that the correct culinary terminology is "rib" for the single piece/stick, and "stalk" for the whole thing/bunch/head. I was not able to find any botanical terminology describing "rib" and "stalk" (but I'll keep working on it).
I would be cautious in interpreting recipes. If the recipe calls for a chopped carrot, a small chopped onion, and a chopped celery stalk... I would go with a rib. Consider the proportion of ingredients when deciding if the author of the recipe meant a rib or the whole bunch.
On the other hand, in authoring a recipe, I would choose the more correct term "rib" (which never means the whole bunch) to describe a single piece. The term "bunch" of celery, while maybe not elegant, seems unlikely to cause confusion either. When using the term "stalk," though, it seems prudent to describe exactly what you mean.
According to what I have read a "stalk" of celery is the whole bunch....a "rib", is one of the many that make up the "stalk"....so many of the recipes are really wrong when they say "one stalk"....you would have way too much celery.
Both are correct. Stock and rib are used interchangeably in recipes that call for celery.

A stalk (or some people call it a rib) is one of the long pieces that are attached at the bottom of the head of celery. What most people call a "bunch of celery," the USDA calls a "stalk;" and what most people call a "stalk of celery," they call a "branch."

Are a standing rib roast and a cross rib roast the same thing?
No, a standing rib roast, also known as prime rib, is a much better cut of meat and comes from an area just to the rear of the cross rib roast, also known as English roast. The cross rib roast is from the cut of beef known as "chuck", which is from the top of the forelimb, near where it meets the shoulder blades. The standing rib roast comes from the area of the ribs where they meet the rib cage (above the area of the rib cage where the "short plate" cut is). They really are not the same, and do not cook the same way. The cross rib roast is best braised, whereas the standing rib roast is best roasted. You should see a difference in the price, with cross rib roast being less expensive than standing rib roast.
