I would summarize it as front-end is the interface that the user sees, back-end is the database and everything that happens outside of the interface that the user sees.

When you get into specifics, sorting specific things into one or the other can be different depending on who you ask 😅

Technically the DB is "Data". Backend on the other hand is what interacts with this data and provides it to the frontend 😁
