[Q][ROM] Kernels and ROMs



Hello people,

I have a bit of a noob question I guess. It's more about on how the Android (guessing any of it) is structured.
If we take a look into the different threads we find a number of versions of ROMs and stuff. But we also find different versions of Kernels.
My question is for example, if switching from lets say stock Android to a custom ROM( eg. Cyanogenmod, AOSP, etc) will it also change the Kernel or is the Kernel separate. Then again there is the question if any Kernel is compatible with any ROM.
I guess the more appropriate question is, does every ROM come with its own Kernel?

This is more just to have a clearer understanding of how this OS is working. Thanks!
