confused by matplotlib and subplots

Hello Covid fighters and dodgers,
I'm sort of confused by what I am seeing in a Pandas book.
This works:
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,2)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,3)
ax3.plot(np.random.randn(50).cumsum(), 'k--');
but also this works!
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,2)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,3)
plt.plot(np.random.randn(50).cumsum(), 'k--');
(the second one is actually the example in the book).
Why does it work? Isn't axX referring to one of the subplots and plt to
the plot as a whole?
Thanks
