I know the VCL is the visual control library, and the RTL is the run

The RTL is an option
- you don't need it in Delphi

Um, except that it contains *everything* compiler-generated code ever

the code behind TObject, strings, dynamic arrays, Variant, and
interfaces. Everything in the System unit is part of the RTL.
