Web server

Just have a small question especially I''m new to RoR and web
programming. When we say that the application runs on a web server. Does
that mean for example when I run my application at:
http://localhost:3000, the web server is my local machine?

And, since a server is a bundle of HW + SW, what is the SW part of the
server?

Is it only "Mongrel"?

Can you kindly explain what exactly is a web server?

Thanks.
