The command interpreter is usually separate from the kernel in case it fails. Either the interpreter or kernel could fail independently without affecting each other.
A command interpreter is an interface of the operating system with the user. The user gives commands with are executed by operating system (usually by turning them into system calls). The main function of a command interpreter is to get and execute the next user specified command. Command-Interpreter is usually not part of the kernel, since multiple command interpreters (shell, in UNIX terminology) may be support by an operating system, and they do not really need to run in kernel mode. There are two main advantages to separating the command interpreter from the kernel. 1. If we want to change the way the command interpreter looks, i.e., I want to change the interface of command interpreter, I am able to do that if the command interpreter is separate from the kernel. I cannot change the code of the kernel so I cannot modify the interface. 2. If the command interpreter is a part of the kernel it is possible for a malicious process to gain access to certain part of the kernel that it showed not have to avoid this ugly scenario it is advantageous to have the command interpreter separate from kernel
It reads commands from the user or from a file of commands and executes them, usually by turning them into one or more system calls. It is usually not part of the kernel since the command interpreter is subject to changes.

It reads commands from the user or from a file of commands and executes them, usually by turning them into one or more system calls. It is usually not part of the kernel since the command interpreter is subject to changes. An user should be able to develop a new command interpreter using the system-call interface provided by the operating system. The command interpreter allows an user to create and manage processes and also determine ways by which they communicate (such as through pipes and files). As all of this functionality could be accessed by an user-level program using the system calls, so it should be possible for the user to develop a new command-line interpreter.

Not integrating the command interpreter into the kernel allows for easier replacement and customization. It can also increase reliability.

These are separate and unrelated tasks. To check the version of the running kernel in Linux, use the command uname -r. To upgrade the kernel, either use your distro's package manager (if any) to update the system, or download and compile the Linux kernel source.
A command is something that's built-in to the kernel, where as the utility is something that runs on top of the kernel. Example of utilities are: fdisk, copy, edit, etc.

The mount command instructs the kernel to access the file system on a partition or device.
