the operating system being the mother software of the device handles all the user inputs and interactions. It also manages the system resources so that the device can function efficiently. The kernel helps the operating system in this task by providing a bridge between the system resources and the operating system itself. Similarly, the main task of the bootloader is to load the operating system into memory whenever the device is powered on.
