A kext, like any other macOS application, is a bundle, only with the.kext extension. A bundle is a special folder that encapsulates application resources (in our case, kext resources). A kext bundle must contain two files: a compiled binary file with executable code.
Kext files are basically the drivers for macOS. The word 'Kext' is short for Kernel Extension. Kexts are an extension of the macOS kernel. When you boot up your machine the code contained in these kexts is atomically injected into the operating system. It's like having drivers contained in a single file without having to install them like on Windows. When you want to uninstall a kext all you have to do is remove it.
