Answer
This separation allows remote container management, CLI running on a different machine, API-driven automation. Docker becomes a client–server architecture.
Quick Answer
The separation means you can run Docker from remote machines, CI systems, or scripts by pointing the client at a remote daemon. It also means the daemon can run as root (needed for kernel-level operations) while the client runs as a regular user. They communicate over a Unix socket or TCP.
