Your Pi is a tiny -computer and the Operating System (Linux aka the Kernel itself) needs something to view, manage, divert, call, stop, forward, etc -in order for the Pi to operate. That "something" is the kernel. Kernel is Greek for heart, so that makes the kernel the heart of a system, i.e -the Operating Systems. There are kernels in various Operating Systems which are optimised for general purpose use such as watching YouTube -videos while listening to your favourite tracks on SoundCloud or Spotify and then there are kernels which are meant to handle processes in the -background, like intense memory management, running a web server or an email server.
