How do you know you have this package? Maybe it's been pulled in as a dependency of something else you installed?

did you happen to install kde at any time or any of its apps?

I think in 16.04 I had the option to login to plasma instead of unity. Maybe it is from there.

You don't need the package plasma-workspace in Ubuntu 18.04 and you can safely remove it with sudo apt remove plasma-workspace if you haven't installed any packages that have plasma-workspace as a dependency.
Here are the reverse dependencies of plasma-workspace in Ubuntu 18.04.
$ apt-cache rdepends plasma-workspace
plasma-workspace
Reverse Depends:
plasma-workspace-dev
sddm-theme-breeze
plasma-workspace-wayland
plasma-widgets-addons
plasma-desktop-data
plasma-desktop
libkscreenlocker5
kinfocenter
kde-config-screenlocker
drkonqi
libkf5xmlrpcclient-data
plasma-mediacenter
openbox-kde-session
libkf5globalaccel-data
libkf5globalaccel-bin
latte-dock
kde-plasma-desktop
kubuntu-web-shortcuts
kubuntu-full
kubuntu-desktop
The following command will show if any of these packages are currently installed.
apt policy plasma-workspace-dev sddm-theme-breeze plasma-workspace-wayland plasma-widgets-addons plasma-desktop-data plasma-desktop libkscreenlocker5 kinfocenter kde-config-screenlocker drkonqi libkf5xmlrpcclient-data plasma-mediacenter openbox-kde-session libkf5globalaccel-data libkf5globalaccel-bin latte-dock kde-plasma-desktop kubuntu-web-shortcuts kubuntu-full kubuntu-desktop
