iMac with the operating system macOS Monterey, version 12.7.6, and constantly being plagued by a notification from 'routined...'. How can I remove this? How can we remove 'routined'?

A screenshot would be helpful.
"Routined" is a normal, expected and required process within macOS. It cannot be removed as it supports other critical processes with the OS.
Not sure why you'd be getting any sort of notification from it.
However, If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode. Use a wired USB keyboard for this. If you have the Magic Keyboard, plug that into the Mac with its charging cable so that it acts as a wired kbd.
How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.
Run the Mac in safe mode for a time and tell us - do you still get these notifications while in Safe mode?
You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.
