Those apps are core applications, required by the phone for proper functioning. By using a task killer to stop these apps, you run the risk of missing calls, texts, emails, other assorted messages, and will actually contribute to sluggish behavior of your phone by making the operating system have to constantly restart these applications.
If it is some app that you have downloaded that is always restarting, uninstall the app, or contact the author of the app. (I always hated it when "Shop Savy" kept restarting, I uninstalled it long ago.)
The underlying operating system on your phone is Linux, and many programs will have library dependencies (Think of .dll files in windows) that while showing up as a "running task" in a task manager, may simply be a "stub" inserted into memory to let dependent applications know that it's "available when needed". Your phone is multi-tasking, from the very core of it's OS, all the way up to the user interface. There would be something seriously wrong if you didn't see several apps/processes running in the background... In that case you might want to flip your phone over and see if there is a little picture of an apple on the back. 
Unlinke the "Dont ever use a task killer" crowd that you might hear from, they CAN be useful at times, especially for stopping services/program that you KNOW what you are doing with - Say killing the browser off instad of going "back" 30 or 40 pages, or killingo ff pandora when it starts becoming unresponsive, but don't kll off something just because you don't know what it does, or just because it shows up.
Linux handles memory and running processes quite well.
If your phone gets slulggish at times, i suggest downloading "Spare Parts" and take a look at what apps are actually using the most CPU time over the period of a few hours.

Well said, BK. Though doesn't Menu>Settings>About Phone>Battery Use do the same thing as spare parts, or no?
