Bootloader ? bootmanager?

Hi all,
is oowow considered a boot manager or a boot loader or somehting else ?
what is its function/role compared to uboot ?
does it make sense to compare it to grub or even lumine GitHub - limine-bootloader/limine: Modern, advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader. which now have a arm64 variant and is open source ?

cheers!

PSS: if still not clear please ask again

Oowow is an upgrade of Krescue (which you can consider a mini mini linux/OS) which also boots just like any other OS using the uboot as bootloader.

Sort of like TWRP recovery on smartphones. It can perform many basic tasks like backup, upgrade, wipe, factory reset and also has added benefits of internet connectivity
