What is meant by the OS's kernel?

What is meant by the OS's kernel, and what does it do? I'm pretty vague on it... All I really know is that it loads up the OS at boot? Is it something that remains present while you're running the OS?

Thanks.
 
It depends on the OS and it's implementation. In Linux and most unixes the kernel is a large piece of software that handles all hardware access, process scheduling, memory management, etc it's basically the core of the OS.
