That is not true in the general case.
It might be true for your current application of a kernel to a specific device, but your post did not include that information.
The only requirements to "run a kernel" is:
a file system to mount as the root file system,
a program to run as process ID 1,
/dev/console,
as a result of the second requirement, often also:
/dev/null
There may be additional requirements of what process you run, but the kernel itself will run with the above requirements met.
