Android's Process != Application ???

Still trying to understand the statements ... "Internally, each user interface screen is represented by an Activity class. Each activity has its own life cycle. An application is one or more activities plus a Linux process to contain them.
In Android, an application can be “alive” even if its process has been killed. Put another way, the activity life cycle is not tied to the process life cycle. Processes are just disposable containers for activities." (Hello Android 3rd edition p.35)
