Xclock is an X client. The X server is the program that takes mouse and keyboard input, (And sometimes other inputs.) processes them, and passes along the processed information to the client program. The client program sends information to the X server that it processes and turns into text/graphic output on the screen. What makes understanding the X server/client relationship is that the server is running on the local machine, and the clients may be operating on the local, or a remote machine. This is different from servers like an ftp or web server where the client is on the local machine, and the server is on the remote machine.
