System software acts as an interface between the hardware and application software, and includes components like the operating system, compiler and drivers that manage system resources and allow application software to function. Application software, in contrast, is developed for specific tasks like word processing, web browsing or media playback, and depends on the system software to run. While a computer cannot function without system software, it can run without any particular application software installed.
