The kernel is the core piece of software which runs the operating system. It is the lowest part of a layered operating system and closest to the hardware itself.
The kernel is loaded by a process of bootloading or bootstrapping when you turn the computer on. Bootloading starts with simple programs semi hard coded in the ROM chips on the motherboard which then progress to load increasingly 'smarter' programs until the kernel loads which is the basis for your full operating system.
