It's kind of like windows safe mode boot.

The recovery kernel boots with enough stuff for you to do maintenance or recovery work on your system. Like performing a chkdisk or maybe restoring a tar file or other things.

There is a setting that lets you specify how many previous versions of the kernel to show on the boot screen. Whenever the kernel is updated the new kernel will be listed as the first and selected kernel on the boot screen, with the previous kernels listed below it followed by the recovery kernel.

You can interrupt the countdown to the boot process by hitting the ESC key.

After which you can use the up and down keys to select the kernel you want to boot followed by the return key.

There ia a screen in which you can select which kernel you wish to load. it gives a list of kernels and every other one is a recovery kernel. How do you use those kernels?
