kernel is a core operating system.it provides set of service
that can be used by the programmers.and the major function
of kernel are to manage computer memory to control access to
the computer, to maintain the file system, to handle
interrupts to handle errors,to perform inputs and output
service (which allows computers to interacts with
terminals,storage device and printers)and to allocates the
resources of the computers(such as cpu or input/output
device among users)
while the shell reads your commands and interpreters them as
requested to execute a program or programs which it then
arranges to have carried out, as the shell plays their
role.so it is called a command interpreters, the shell is a
programming language. as the programming language , it
permits you to control how and when commands are carried out.
