Operating systems are designed to manage computer hardware and software resources
DBMS (Database Software Management Software)
System software is used to control and manage system resources (e.g. i/o device hardware, memory hardware, processor time), making them available to user software via standard interfaces that provide a common set of abstractions of those system resources. These abstractions make it easier for programmers to write both user software and driver software for unique i/o devices that may someday be connected to the computer and the driver software that knows how to control them must be installed as an addition to the system software so that it can also control and manage the new i/o device.

No, the hardware cannot manage the software.
System Software as opposed to Application Software, which is what the user interacts with.
The inter-relationship between hardware and software components is symbiotic; hardware provides the physical infrastructure that enables software to operate, while software delivers the instructions and functionality that harness the capabilities of the hardware. Together, they form a cohesive system where hardware components like processors, memory, and storage work in conjunction with software applications and operating systems to perform tasks. This interaction allows users to execute programs, manage resources, and achieve desired outcomes efficiently. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a computing system relies on the seamless integration and compatibility of both hardware and software elements.
a comparison is when you take two things and see how they are alike.
The operating system provides a way for the user to manage system hardware and resources while providing a reasonably usable interface for the user to be able to use it.
