Do IGP protocols "touch" FECS at all?

I'm learning about MPLS in school and a question on my midterm asked "how do interior gateway protocols deal with forwarding equivalency classes in comparison to link state paths?"

But the thing is I'm pretty sure the IGPs are just there to lay the foundation for the LSPs (link state paths) instead and don't deal with fecs at all. The label bindings are exchanged on the data plane not the control plane. No?
