Many Unix and Linux servers come without a graphical user interface, and the text mode interface is the default.
For those systems using a GUI, there is a 'terminal' tool that you can select from the menu to allow text interactions.
Graphical User Interface - in other words, the on screen commands that you interact with.
Operating System have a major component called KERNEL that is designed to interact with hardware .Kernel acts as an interface between OS Shell & Hardware.

No, icons and other graphical symbols are part of the Graphical User Interface (GUI output) as are mice and touch devices (GUI input) that allows the user to interact with apps and the operating system.

Interface
Software that allows your computer to interact with user applications and hardware is called the operating system (OS). The OS manages hardware resources, provides a user interface, and enables the execution of applications. Examples of operating systems include Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Through CLI (command line interface) or GUI (graphic user interface) interfaces.
The software parts of the operating system that you can interact with are referred to as the user interface. This includes graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with windows, icons, and menus, as well as command-line interfaces (CLIs) that allow users to input text commands. The user interface facilitates user interaction with the operating system's functions and applications.
A shell is a command interpreter that allows users to interact with the operating system. It takes input in the form of commands and executes them, providing an interface for users to manage files, run programs, and perform various tasks on the system. It acts as an intermediary between the user and the kernel of the operating system.
