Kernel vs. ROM ?

Help the n00b please!

I'm new here from the Touch Pro threads. On WinMo devices we only had to flash ROM's, maybe a radio. I don't understand this talk about kernels. Can anybody explain the difference between a ROM and a kernel? Are they interchangeable? For example, I've flashed Modaco's recent cdma ROM....but did that install his kernel as well? How do I know what kernel I'm running? Can I use the modaco ROM w/ the Gumbo kernel? etc.
