Hi!, someone could explain me what happen internally when a client component has inside a server component and viceversa, I undertand that the server component is rendered first and then the client component, is that correct?

Server components are rendered on the server, client components are rendered when they hit the clients browser. There are a bit more nuances than that, but thats the general gist of it.
Are you having an issue or just looking for a better understanding?
This is a really good resource

One of the nuances and potentially confusing parts but really dont matter is that client components are still pre-rendered on the server.
