To form an OpenPGP certificate out of a collection of components, the certificate holder links these components together (using their OpenPGP software).
The OpenPGP term for linking components is "binding," as in: "a subkey is bound to the primary key." The bindings are realized using cryptographic signatures (much more details about this are in {ref}`certifications_chapter`).

In very abstract terms, the primary key of a certificate acts as a root of trust for that certificate (as a kind of "certification authority"):
