Quick answer - The programmable elements inside a FPGA called CLB = Confiurable Logic Blocks.

If you look inside a CLB will it consist of LUTs = Look Up Table and Flip-Flops/Latches.

The LUTs and F/F's organized in Slices which means that those elements shares connections in order to utilized fast carry chain.
