Difference between IP and Ethernet?

I was looking at this chart ( https://imgur.com/a/9X3SLqq) on 5G "xHaul" and I realized that I must be misunderstanding what those two terms meant. For backhaul it is labeled "IP/Ethernet", but mid-haul is labeled just "Ethernet".

I though Ethernet was just the wire and then IP was the protocol used to transmit data, but there is no IP label for mid-haul. What protocol is used to transmit data along the ethernet?
