What is non-jargon for WMI?

I read a little about WMI and try to understand what it is, but it all seems like a lot of descriptions of jargons and circles.

Here :Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data and operations on Windows-based operating systems.

"Infrastructure"? AND?

Are these just some interceptors in the operating system for accessing system resources, devices? What kind? If so, what is it made of? Are these COM classes?

Overview

Well, WMI is a system that allows you to request information about a machine. WMI consists of many different providers and classes, and each class can have properties and methods on it, not as much as .NET. Suppliers are responsible for returning classes.
