A server is known to be a type of program or it may also refer to a machine that will be in charge of waiting for some of the requests. The client will refer to the machine that can be used so that requests will be properly sent to the servers. For those who do not understand it still, when you say “server,” this can be the connection point for the different clients. They will be in charge of handling the various requests. A client will make sure that everything is connected so that the server can start performing the required actions. These two are supposed to work well together to provide the type of tasks that are needed by the users.
