Re: what is Linux root File System ?

Is a file system that is mounted at the root of your installation,
so is the 'root' of the other file systems (duh!)

It is the file system that's hosting the / directory (as
opposed to /home, which I'd call the "users file system").

Nonesense.
Pardon?

Whatever file system you designate as root[1].

The kernel is files withing a file system. If it's convenient, put it
in root, if not, put it in /boot. The way that you configure your boot
loader must match where you decide to pout the kernel.
[1] It's called root because it's the basis for referring to all other
files and directories. If you have multiple file system, you need
to mount the others into access points, after which they are
treated as though they are part of root.
