DISCLAIMER: Server-side Java is not my forte.

I have often noticed that in many places where I have worked, the 
companies have both a full application server such as JBoss/Wildfly AND 
a web server (typically Apache) installed and both seem to work together.

1) Is this necessary and if so, why?
2) What does a web server "provide" that an application server doesn't?
3) What is the nature of the relationship or interaction between both 
applications?
