This contains all the kernel modules which needed to be loaded into kernel (booting etc). There will some .map, .dep (dependency files) files present.

While the kernel required a feature which is not resident in the kernel, the kernel module daemon kmod[1] execs modprobe to load the module in.

You can see what modules are loaded already into the kernel by running lsmod that gets its information by reading the file /proc/modules
