Detailed explanation-1: -Client-server networks are computer networks that use a dedicated computer (server) to store data, manage/provide resources and control user access. The server acts as a central point on the network upon which the other computers connect to. A computer that connects to the server is called a client.

Detailed explanation-2: -A server stores, sends, and receives data. In essence, it “serves” something else and exists to provide services. A computer, software program, or even a storage device may act as a server, and it may provide one service or several.

Detailed explanation-3: -The client-server approach enables any general-purpose computer to expand its capabilities by utilizing the shared resources of other hosts. Popular client-server applications include email, the World Wide Web, and network printing.
