Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The kernel is the most important part of the operating system. It is the primary interface between the hardware and the processes of a computer. The kernel connects these two in order to adjust resources as effectively as possible. The kernel is one of the initial programs loaded up on memory before the boot loader.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three parts of a wheat kernel: the bran, endosperm and germ. The bran is the outer shell of the grain and is high in fiber and B vitamin.

Detailed explanation-4: -A kernel maintains a list of all the available devices, and this list may be already known, configured by the user, or detected by OS at runtime. The kernel has full control for accessing the computer’s memory. Each process requires some memory to work, and the kernel enables the processes to safely access the memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -This seed (which industry calls a “kernel”) is made up of three key edible parts – the bran, the germ, and the endosperm – protected by an inedible husk that protects the kernel from assaults by sunlight, pests, water, and disease.
