Use of web server (Apache, nginx)

Question

Hello everyone
I've been working with Odoo for several years now but I still don't understand what is the use of Apache or nginx with Odoo?
I mean, Odoo runs perfectly without them on a local machine so why do we need to use them on a staging or production environment?
Maybe I don't really understand what is the use of a web server.

Hi,
In your local instance  currently the Odoo may be running as a single process, and single thread will be handling all the incoming requests.
To handle multiple request and multiple users at a time, we have to enable workers in Odoo
And to configure workers we use revers proxy like nginx and apache
