kernel's
Nut meat's possessive
Kernel's is the possessive form of kernel—the soft inner part of a nut or seed, or the essential core of something.
A kernel's shell protects it from damage.
In computing, an operating system kernel's primary job is managing hardware resources.
The word also refers to individual grains: a corn kernel's moisture content affects popping.
