"systemd is a system and session manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting devices."
In Simpler Terms:
systemd is a more efficient method of controlling processes. It has the flexibility to start services in parallel, and have them communicate with each other, even if they are restarted (respawned). This is particularly useful for system administrators to temporarily service or update services without affecting the other dependent services.
