Operating System's kernel
No, it's an operating system kernel.
Yes, they are the interface to kernel functionality. To quote wikipedia: a system call is how a program requests a service from an operating system's kernel that it does not normally have permission to run
The Kernel
Nobody has exactly definied what an Operating System is. If it is the kernel only, then the answer is no. If it is the kernel, the common libraries, the GUI and the applications together, then the answer is yes.
The kernel is the inner softer part of a seed, fruit stone, or nut.The kernel is a program that constitutes the central core of a computer operating system.
The kernel is the essential center of a computer operating system the core that provides basic services for all other parts of the operating system. A kernel is designed to be a central core to the operating system - the logic that manages the resources that the hardware has to offer.
The kernel is the core part of the operating system. The kernel handles the machine side of things, while the GUI handles the user side of things.
The Linux kernel is the central component of the GNU/Linux operating system. The kernel is the lowest level of interaction between the hardware and the operating system. Individual applications are at a higher level. The kernel along with supporting applications make up the operating system.
A shell program is the interface between the user (environment) and the operating system (kernel). It allows users to specify commands and requests the operating system to execute them.

The kernel The kernel is the hub of the operating system: it allocates time and memory to programs and handles the filestore and communications in response to system calls. The shell The shell acts as an interface between the user and the kernel. When a user logs in, the login program checks the username and password, and then starts another program called the shell.
