Explanation
Users on a computer network interact with various network nodes such as computers, printers, switches, routers, etc., to access resources or services. In a computer network, a server is indeed considered a network node. A network node is any device connected to a network that can communicate with other devices. Servers, which provide services or resources to other devices on the network, are an integral part of network infrastructure and are thus considered network nodes.
