More on this blog post – https://www.tec4tric.com/linux/kernel-shell-linux
A kernel is the “Heart of the Operating System”, on the other hand, Shell is the “Sleeping Beauty” in Linux.

Shell is actually the interface between the user and the Kernel. Shell has a programming capability of its own. We will see that later. Shell behaves like an examiner to each and every command. At first Shell analyzes the command and its arguments and then it tries to modify it to simplify. Then, after the simplification, Shell forwards the command to the Kernel, and then Kernel executes the command.

The Kernel actually runs the commands it gets from the Shell.
it presents within the OS and controls all the major functions of the hardware, whether it’s a phone, laptop, etc.
A kernel is basically a collection of programs that directly communicates with the hardware. When the system boots up, it also loads into the memory and it remains in memory for the entire time that the computer is in operation. The kernel does all the tasks like allocating memory, handling processes, and many other tasks.
