There have already been several excellent answers, so here is my view.

The client is typically regarded as the frontend in the client-server approach, whereas the server is usually considered the backend. JavaScript frameworks like React run client-side, and you'd employ languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The server side is the back-end, where you will find your database, API, and hosting. Some back-end languages are Python, Go, Java etc...
