As the title says, I would like to understand what these things are and how they are related to each other (if they are), thank you all very much in advance!

At home, DHCP is on the router that all your devices connect to. The router is therefore your ‘DHCP server’ on your network. Every device gets given an IP address by the DHCP server automatically when stuff gets connected. IP address allows devices on the network talk to each other and use the internet from that router. EG. You give ur mate your wifi password, he connects his phone to the router, and itll will be given an IP automatically.
IPv4 is the mainstream IP address format, example 192.168.1.1 is a standard IP address for a router. We may run out IP addresses one day as we’re running out of combinations. IPv6 was brought in, example format: ‘2a0b:c230:35:204c::7a6’.
