Front end is What you see outside, backend is what you see inside. So, given an example of a website.

Now, the front end is the HTML, CSS and JS. Here's the fun part, if you create a web server using python to host the website (recommend starting with Flask Python module), and you add a database, that is the backend.

You can then use things such as HTTP Requests to let's say store stuff on a database, or generate some sort of AI, or complicated stuff. Data are sent to the backend to sort them out more efficiently.
