I think a nice introduction to those services is the "MapServer OGC Web
Services Workshop", and if you are on Windows it is included in MS4W as
a package (https://ms4w.com) so you can run it locally, or you can view
the workshop on the official MS4W demo server at
https://ms4w.me/ms-ogc-workshop/ (I recommend clicking the "Slides for
hands-on session" link there, which is old but still does a great job in
explaining how WMS/WFS relates to MapServer)

What I know:
From a tomcat training video
Web SITE
Web SERVICE
Web SOCKET
Site - formatting
Service - data
Socket - idk. Something to do with JavaScript, AJAX and chat rooms
So a Web mapping/feature service shares maps/features where a wms client
like openlayers or leaflet does formatting.
Database ->WMS/WFS -> OpenLayers = website
Is my above reasoning correct?
Is that what a WMS/WFS MapServer is? What am I missing from this big
picture model?
Sorry for noob questions. But I when I explain things to my supervisor I
want to get things right. Thanks!
