When I create multiple threads from a process, then does each thread have its own stack, or is it that they share the stack of their parent process. What happens when a thread makes a system call? Do threads also maintain their own kernel stack like processes?

Each thread has its own stack that holds a frame for each method executing on that thread as you can see here in the section "Per Thread".
Like a traditional process i.e., process with one thread, a thread can be in any of several states (Running, Blocked, Ready or Terminated). Each thread has its own stack. Since thread will generally call different procedures and thus a different execution history. This is why thread needs its own stack.
Yes , in multithreading each thread has its own stack. having a separate stack is what makes thread's independent of each other.
Each thread running in the Java virtual machine has its own thread stack. The thread stack contains information about what methods the thread has called to reach the current point of execution. I will refer to this as the "call stack". As the thread executes its code, the call stack changes.
Yes threads have their own stacks and their own kernel stacks (e.g. linux).
When a thread makes a system call, you trap into kernel mode (from user mode), you pass the arguments to the kernel, the arguments are checked, the kernel does w/e it needs to do (in the kernel stack), returns the final value back to the thread and you go back to user mode.
