CLR maintains a table content of what are the objects created, what are the tasks running.CLR wont create threads itself. because threads concept have many disadvantages.Based on that table only GC collects on Managed Heap objects.

GC is a thread running in the .net CLR. There is only one thread for the entire runtime which manages any number of applications running....GC.Collect() is just a request to the runtime to initiate a collection....
