During the boot process the operating system is loaded into memory and
executed. After doing diagnostic checks the system reads in the boot program
from the disk, or other boot device. The boot program locates the kernel and
loads it into memory. When the kernel is executed it does initial checks on
system hardware resources and attempts to initialize the devices. The kernel
then starts up a few processes, including init, which executes the
initialization scripts for the system.

You can't technically "boot" an application because the OS is already loaded
as is the kernel. The devices have already been checked.
