    If you mean a unix/linux kernel or embedded kernel, it's a copy of all the code & data an OS uses to interact with devices and provide streams of i/o to user-level shells.
    It stays "in-memory" which is why linux runs best with lots of RAM and swap space,

    The embedded versions are usually in ROM with some scratch file RAM onboard.
