Basically the difference is how it's intended to be used. For instance, a client OS is optimized to give higher priority to client programs such as games, word processors, internet browsers, etc where a server would be optimized to run processes that the client systems would connect to and get information from such as email server programs, web server programs, databases, etc.
However, there are a lot of similarities between the two and it is possible for a client OS to act as a server for some functions and vice versa.
Almost all kinds of computers can be used as a client computer in a client server system, depending on the needs of the client. For example, some clients relies on the local CPU and some rely on the computer's local storage.
