Kernel










                                 Explanation  The kernel functions similarly to the
                                        brain  of  the  operating  system.  It

                                        manages  important  operations  and

                                        has  direct  communication  with  the

                                        computer hardware.






















                                           Consider  the  kernel  to  be  the

                                           orchestra's  conductor.  It  leads  and

                                   Analogy  organises        all    of     the      musicians
                                           (hardware and software) to ensure that

                                           they  play  in  harmony  and  achieve  the

                                           intended outcome.
