Kernel symbols mem addresses

Hello this might be a newbie q, it probably is. But im kindof wondering why allot of the kernel symbol addresses like proc_root_readdir, ext4_readdir, getdents and so on change on each bootup. This is kindof new to me. I thought these were going to point to the same address all the time.
