Both programs and data can be stored on the same floppy disk because they are simply different types of files that can coexist within the same file system. A floppy disk has a defined storage capacity, which allows it to hold various file formats, including executable programs and user data, as long as the total size does not exceed the disk's limit. The file system organizes these files, allowing the operating system to differentiate between them and access them as needed. Thus, a single floppy disk can serve multiple purposes by containing both types of information.

Can data be stored on both sides of a floppy disk?

Modern 3.5" floppy disks were/are double sided. Earlier 5.25" floppy disks started out single sided but you could cut out a read only slot and flip them over and use both sides, no guarantees though. Even earlier 8" floppy disks were also single sided but could likewise be cut and flipped over. This is from my own experience not from research.
