There was two parts, the command module and the lunar module. The command module was used to take them to Lunar orbit, and then the Lunar module was used to land them on the Moon. The Lunar module then lifted the astronauts off the Moon and into Lunar orbit. They then docked with the command module and then got rid of the lunar module. Then the final trip home, they were safely inside the command module.
The purpose of the Lunar module was to carry the astronauts, from the command module to the Lunar surface and back from the moon.
The Apollo spacecraft had two parts, the Command Module and the Lunar Module. The Lunar Module was designed to land on the moon, and to take off to lunar orbit, to a rendez-vous with the Command Module. So it was composed by two parts: the lander, and the ascender. The lander served as a base to the lauching of the ascender.
The rocket, called the 'command module', that was carrying the three astronauts to the moon was also carrying a 'lunar module' which was the craft that was to land on the moon. Once the command module was orbiting the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin entered the lunar module, separated it from the command module, and flew down to the moon while Collins piloted the command module around the moon. When it was time to leave the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin blasted off in the lunar module and flew to meet Collins in the command module where they hooked back up. Armstrong and Aldrin then left the lunar module and entered the command module. The lunar module was then jettisoned from the command module, to eventually crash into the moon, and the three made their way back to Earth in the command module.
They got out in space and climbed into the command module. The top of the crafts connected together in space. I wonder how it was possible though, because their suits were so big and it was enough room for the life support units on their back. This answer below is not the correct answer to your question. The command module and lunar module have a docking bay, the Lunar module at the top of the module itself and the command module at the peak of the cone. the command module is the only part of the command/service module and lunar module that actually returned to earth. The lunar modules were jetisoned after the linkup from the lunar excursion and eventually crash landed on the moon. the service module, once separated from the command module burned up on reentry into the earth's atmosphere when the Earth's gravity caused it's orbit decayed enough. Most of the command modules for the Apollo Lunar Missions are housed in the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington, DC and Dulles, VA. although there are a few in other places (Houston, Florida).

The command module for Apollo 13 was called Aquarius. The lunar module was called Aquarius.

The command service module , orbited the moon, in Apollo 11 it was Michael Collins, who did experiments, while the lunar module landed on the moon. With the two astronauts.

The Command Module was called Columbia ( the lunar module was named Eagle.)
They are the command module and the lunar module.
Every manned Apollo mission carried a crew of three. For Apollos 7-17, they had the titles of Commander (CDR), Command Module Pilot (CMP) and Lunar Module Pilot (LMP). The Commander and Lunar Module Pilot flew the Lunar Module while the Command Module Pilot remained in the Command Module. "Lunar Module Pilot" was somewhat of a misnomer as the Commander actually piloted the LM while the LMP acted as a flight engineer on both the Command Module and Lunar Module. The Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions did not have a lunar module so the third crewmember had a different title (Science Pilot or Docking Module Pilot, respectively). The Apollo 11 crew consisted of CDR Neil Alden Armstrong, CMP Michael Collins and LMP Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins remained in lunar orbit.
Service Module, Command Module, Lunar Module.
The Apollo 13 Command Module was 'Odyssey' . Aquarius was the Lunar lander.
