A service is essentially a process that typically runs in the background to provide specific functionality. The sshd service, for example, is the background process (also referred to as a daemon) that provides secure shell access to the system. Different runlevels are configured to automatically launch different collections of services, depending on the functionality that is to be provided at that particular level.
