What is a Client and a Server?
Client :
A client can be defined as a software application or device that initiates requests to a server to access resources, services, or data via a network. Some examples of clients include web browsers, email clients, chat applications, and file transfer programs.

Server :
A server refers to a computer program or a device that provides resources, data, or services to other computers, devices, or software applications, called clients, over a network.
Servers can perform diverse tasks, such as saving and distributing files, serving as hosts for websites and applications, handling email communication, and managing incoming client requests.

A Practical explanation of client and server;
Facebook
operates as a client-server system where the client (web browser) communicates
with the server side to provide services to users.
If a user wants to use Facebook, their web
browser serves as the client and sends a request to Facebook servers to
retrieve information such as news feed, messages, friend requests, and other
features. Facebook servers handle these requests and return the requested
information to the client, which is then displayed on the user's web browser.
Furthermore, Facebook servers are responsible for storing user data like
profile information, photos, and posts and provide the information to clients
when requested.
