Why does winXP use kernel32.dll?

When I installed winXP pro, I noticed it copied a file called kernel32.dll. I thought that was the main file for win9x/ME, and that all NT based OSs used ntoskrnl.exe (a file that winXP also has)? What is the difference between these 2 files, and what are they used for?
 
Despite it's name, it's not the kernel.

All I could fine in the .NET developer docs is: Low-level operating system functions for memory management and resource handling.

That sounds pretty much like a "kernal" to me.
