Is it possible to create an image like this one by using R?
The image is taken from UseR! 2019 Spatial workshop part I.

2If the rasters are exactly the same size and location you can use Composite Bands resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//… to create a stacked raster from a collection of bands. This thread might help gis.stackexchange.com/questions/67705/… as you say you have access to ArcGIS Pro pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/… or QGIS gis.stackexchange.com/questions/22300/…– Michael StimsonCommented Jul 10, 2019 at 0:40

What have you tried so far? For questions that involve code (like R) we ask that you show us where you are stuck with your own code by including a code snippet in your question.– PolyGeo ♦Commented Jul 10, 2019 at 1:37

The answer is "yes". It is possible to create an image like that but how close to that exact image do you want? You can position rasters and view them using the rgl package which gets you 90% of the way there.– SpacedmanCommented Jul 10, 2019 at 11:19

using rgl and pals for colours:
> library(rgl)
> library(pals)
make some data
> m = matrix(runif(54),6,9)
cut into 10 categories and lookup colour in a palette of 10 colours:

start the engines...

plot as many as you like at different Z coordinates, starting at zero:
> surface3d(1:9, 1:6, rep(0,length(col)), color = col, back = "lines", smooth=FALSE)
> surface3d(1:9, 1:6, rep(1,length(col)), color = col, back = "lines", smooth=FALSE)
> surface3d(1:9, 1:6, rep(2,length(col)), color = col, back = "lines", smooth=FALSE)
> surface3d(1:9, 1:6, rep(3,length(col)), color = col, back = "lines", smooth=FALSE)

Here is a modern solution: https://www.urbandemographics.org/post/figures-map-layers-r/
Unfortunately it is not a package, but still very easy to use.
Also, there is a CRAN package too: https://marcosci.github.io/layer/
