It's an application server. Basically, it lets your web-server run server-side Java.

Apache Tomcat (formerly under the Apache Jakarta Project; Tomcat is now a top level project) is a web container developed at the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat implements the servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, providing an environment for Java code to run in cooperation with a web server. It adds tools for configuration and management but can also be configured by editing configuration files that are normally XML-formatted. Tomcat includes its own HTTP server internally.

Its an application server if you are referring to computer and Internet and if your term of reference is to air crafts then Apache is an advanced fighter helicopter and Tomcat is a war craft which can take off from a warship.

Apache is the open source web server that runs on almost all platforms. Tomcat or Jakarta Tomcat is the Java servlet container that allows it to run Java servlets or jsp.
