Typically, the kernel is responsible for memory management, process and task management, and disk management.

kernel is the heart of linux.Changing the kernel is the only thing that requires reboot in linux.İf you are a linux home user you dont have to deal with it but it will deal with everything. İf you are a professional user or a programmer,you should deal with every thing about kernel in order to learn linux OS very very well maybe one day you can compose a kernel.
