X Window is a client server application. You computer runs an X Window server that you connect to as a client. It has just always been that way because back when X Window was originally written most computers were not powerful enough to run the program. Computers have changed, X Window hasn't. Start a terminal and issue these commands:
$ netstat -a | grep X11
That will show you the ports your X server is running on among other things.
$ ps aux | grep -i x
This will show you your server and client processes.
I'm not sure what knowing any of this will do for you today. There was a time when it was more important information though.
