A kernel is the centre of a nut (the main bit you eat) so following on from that...
...the kernel is the actual OS itself. It provides most of the system services (threading, processes) and all the rest of it. Get WinTop and see kernel32.dll up there near "Idle" 
user32.dll provides user interface services, like creating windows.
