Ah but see, now you're conflating two different things:
cmd.exe is a shell
conhost and cmder are terminals.
I believe cmder can come with git bash as well, which is also a shell.
The confusion comes from when you launch cmd, the window that appears by default is conhost, with cmd running attached to it. When you launch cmder, it's also running attached to cmd.
